Lemon Chess Pie Recipe ???????????????? | Thanksgiving Pie Series ????
My lemon chess pie recipe is easy and delicious. Best described as lemon bars with a bit of texture, this pie is full of citrus flavor because of all the freshly grated lemon zest and freshly squeezed lemon juice. It only has a few ingredients, so it is really simple to make. Although the cornmeal may seem a bit out of place on the ingredients list, it actually works well in the recipe. Lemon chess pie is a somewhat forgotten old fashioned southern dessert, so I hope that my recipe helps to bring it back just in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
This recipe is a lemon version of chess pie, a type of southern pie that is basically a sugar pie. The main ingredients are sugar, butter, and eggs, along with a small amount of either cornmeal or flour in the filling. Basically, think of a pecan pie, but without the pecans. Although this pie sounds like it might not have much flavor, it is actually very flavorful. This lemon chess pie recipe includes both lemon zest and lemon juice, so there is no lack of flavor. In fact, it had a lot more lemon flavor than I thought it would. A good way to describe it would be a lemon bar with a bit more texture.
The cornmeal is a traditional ingredient in many southern chess pie recipes. However, if you want to make this lemon chess pie without cornmeal, simple replace it with an equal amount of all-purpose flour.
Also, even though I said I was using cornmeal in the video, I actually used polenta because it was what I had on hand. The polenta worked really well, and I think it was a bit less gritty than using cornmeal. So, if you want to make this lemon chess pie without cornmeal, substituting polenta is another option.
As you can see, this lemon chess pie recipe is perfect for Thanksgiving and the Holidays. It has an old fashioned look and taste while still being unique. If you are interested in adding a bit of variety to the dessert table this holiday season, be sure to make my lemon chess pie!????????????????
