Tips:

  • For the perfect chess pie crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. This will give the crust a flaky texture and a rich flavor.
  • When measuring the flour, be sure to spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife. This will prevent you from adding too much flour to the dough.
  • When rolling out the dough, be sure to do it on a lightly floured surface. This will prevent the dough from sticking to the rolling pin or the countertop.
  • When baking the chess pie, be sure to preheat the oven to the correct temperature. This will help to ensure that the pie bakes evenly.
  • Do not overbake the chess pie. The filling should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Chess pie is a classic Southern dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, rich filling and flaky crust, it is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dessert, give chess pie a try.
