A favorite throughout the South, chess pie takes its name from the
description given by a cook who was asked what sort of pie it was,
and replied, "It 'jes pie, honey."
Ingredients: Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat eggs, yolks, and sugar together at high speed for two minutes. Add butter and cream; beat again at high speed for two minutes. Add flour, cornmeal, lemon juice and rind; mix well. Pour into crust and bake 45 - 60 minutes until top is medium brown. (Test with toothpick.) Allow to cool to room temperature before serving with whipped cream topping if desired. Serves: 6 slices
