    Title: Mrs. Flora Hale's Chess Pie
    Categories: Pies
    Yield: 1 Pie

    2 c Granulated sugar
    1 tb Corn meal
    1 tb All-purpose flour
    6 Egg yolks
    12 oz Can evaporated milk
    1 tb Vanilla extract
    1/2 c Unsalted butter; melted
    1 pn Nutmeg
    1 Pie crust; homemade

    Adjust oven rack to its lowest position and preheat oven to 425°F.

    Combine sugar, corn meal, and flour in a medium bowl. Gradually blend
    in egg yolks and evaporated milk using a fork or whisk. Do not beat
    the mixture, but blend thoroughly and gently. Blend in vanilla,
    followed by the melted butter and nutmeg. Do not sprinkle nutmeg on
    top.

    Pour filling into pie shell. If you have a pie shield, use it. If not,
    cover edge of pastry with foil. Bake for 15 minutes, then lower
    temperature to 375°F. Make a foil tent to cover entire pie and
    continue baking for an additional 40 to 45 minutes until top is
    puffed and golden brown, and a silver knife comes out clean when
    inserted in middle of pie. Remove pie to a cooling rack and allow to
    cool to almost room temperature before serving. Leftovers should be
    stored in refrigerator.

    Due to the high sugar and fat content, it is imperative to shield the
    entire pie during baking. The pie will overbrown or even burn if not
    shielded.
