Classic Chess Pie
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/8 cup sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup margarine
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the optimal temperature for baking, which is 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
In a saucepan, blend together white sugar, brown sugar, flour and salt to create a foundation for your dessert. Gradually pour in milk and add margarine, stirring constantly as the mixture heats up.
3
Once the sugar has dissolved and the margarine is fully incorporated, remove the saucepan from the heat source and let it cool down to room temperature.
4
In a large mixing vessel, combine egg yolk, egg and vanilla extract until you achieve a smooth consistency. Then, whisk in the cooled sugar mixture to create a rich and creamy texture.
5
Pour the egg mixture into your pie crust, ensuring it's evenly distributed to create a visually appealing dessert.
6
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 250 degrees Fahrenheit or 120 degrees Celsius and continue baking for an additional 25 minutes, or until the top is puffed and the edges are golden brown.
7
Finally, allow the pie to cool down completely before slicing it into individual portions for serving.
