Chess Pie

Chess Pie #2

Fairfield Chess Pie

1/3 C butter
1 1/3 C sugar
3 eggs
1 can evaporated milk
1 T flour
1/8 t allspice
1/4 t salt

Beat together butter, sugar and eggs. Add flour and mix well. Add milk, allspice and salt, mix well. Pour into unbaked 9” pie shell. Bake in 400o oven for 15 minutes, then reduce oven to 350o and bake for 30 more minutes.

I did need a deep dish crust for this pie, but I'd purchased a standard crust. I had leftover filling.



This one's top is burned too. It happened immediately, within the first five minutes of cooking. I want to play with this recipe because it is a milky, no cornmeal Chess Pie. I clearly need to change the cooking directions and ditch the 400 degree oven.
