Shoo-Fly Chess Pie
INGREDIENTS
- Cooking Time: 35-45
- 2 sticks sweet Butter
- 1c granulated Sugar
- 1/2c Brown Sugar
- 1/2c Black Molasses
- 6x-lg or 8med Egg Yolks
- 1/2c Buttermilk (or Cream)
- 3tblsp Cornmeal
- 2-8" Arrowhead Mills Graham pie crusts (or 1-9" deep-dish, any type)
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven 350F.
- Cream butter and sugar.
- Add yolks while beating until fluffy with hand mixer.
- Add milk, then cornmeal, mixing until blended.
- Pour into crusts; bake 35-45min, until very brown. Pie does initially rise, and can overflow especially in the 9" pie (so you may want to put a cookie sheet on rack below), but will deflate upon cooling.
- Allow to cool before serving for a firm pie. Serve garnished with whipped cream and crushed pecans if you like.
