Lemon Chess PIe Recipe

submitted by reader Betty Martin of Smithville, TN

Ingredients
1 (9-inch) deep-dish unbaked piecrust
1 egg white
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons cornmeal
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3 eggs
2 teaspoons lemon zest
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons butter, melted
3 tablespoons milk

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Brush the piecrust with the egg white. Bake it for 10 minutes, remove from the oven, and set aside.
Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, cornmeal, and flour. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition. Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, melted butter, and milk. Mix well, and pour into the piecrust. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the center is set. Serve warm or cool.

Yield: 8 servings
