Honey Chess Pie
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Unroll the pie crust and place inside 9-inch pie plate. Tuck the crust underneath itself so it’s flush with the edge of the pie plate. Crimp the edges decoratively. Bake crust in oven 10 minutes. Remove to a wire rack.
-
Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Whisk together honey, sugar, butter, cornmeal and salt in a medium bowl until well-blended. Whisk eggs and egg yolks into mixture 1 at a time. Add sour cream and whisk until just combined. Pour mixture into pie crust and bake for 15 minutes.
-
Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Cover edges of pie crust with aluminum foil to prevent over browning. Leave oven door cracked open for 1 minute to help lower oven temperature and close oven door.
-
Bake at 325 degrees until pie is almost set but still jiggles slightly in center when touched, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove pie to a wire rack and let cool completely.
Pro Tips
