I just learned of this pie last night. Apparently it's an old southern favorite. Does anyone know to make it? Would love the recipe. Thanks

    David's Lemon Chess Pie

    3 eggs
    1 cup sugar
    1/2 cup light corn syrup
    1/3 cup melted butter
    1/3 cup sour cream
    1 TB cornmeal
    juice of one lemon and also the rind, grated
    1/2 t. vanilla extract

    In a blender, blend each item in as it is added. Pour into a 9-inch pastry shell and bake at 350 for 45 to 50 minutes or until set and dark golden brown. Bake on the middle oven shelf or just below middle in the oven.

    Filling can be used for 1 dozen 3-inch tarts if preferred. Bake tarts for about 30 minutes.

    The TB of cornmeal adds just the right touch of texture to the filling.
