Cheryl's Lemon Chess Pie image

A true Southern favorite, this is a wonderful chess pie with the tart taste of lemon. My great grandmother gave me this recipe and I make it every year for the holidays. This pie must be refrigerated.

Time 3h40m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 refrigerated pie crust (such as Pillsbury®)
4 extra large eggs
2 small lemons, juiced
2 cups white sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ cup whole milk
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons corn muffin mix (such as Jiffy®)
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Let pie crust come to room temperature for 10 minutes.
  • Unroll crust gently onto a floured surface. Use a rolling pin to gently flatten and smooth out the crust; do not press too hard. Gently transfer crust into a 9x5/8-inch glass deep-dish pie plate. Make sure the crust is sitting flat on the bottom of the plate. Gently form the sides and pinch the top edge to form the crust; do not stretch. Place in a refrigerator.
  • Beat eggs and lemon juice with an electric mixer until fluffy. Mix sugar and butter together in another bowl until creamy. Add to egg mixture and beat until mixed, for 1 minute. Add milk, flour, corn muffin mix, and salt; beat until just blended. Pour into the prepared pie crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until center is slightly browned, set, and does not wiggle, 50 to 60 minutes. Place on a wire rack until completely cool, 20 to 30 minutes. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pie filling didn't set properly. It was still runny after I took it out of the oven.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't turn out as good as I hoped. I think I might have overcooked it.

The crust on this pie was a bit too thick for my liking, but the filling was delicious.

This pie is a bit too tart for my taste, but I think it would be perfect for people who like their desserts on the sour side.

This pie was a hit at my last party! Everyone loved the unique combination of flavors, and it was gone in minutes. I've already had several people ask me for the recipe.

This lemon chess pie is the perfect balance of tart and sweet. The filling is creamy and smooth, and the crust is flaky and golden brown. I will definitely be making this pie again!
