Lemon Chess Pie
Josie is too young to appreciate pie. However the three day weekend provides enough time, for the first time since her arrival, to go back to "Killer Pies" and choose a recipe. Rhubarb is in the market, but I figured on going with a non-fruit pie. I settled on Lemon Chess Pie.
This was the first use of a new metal pie pan. The crust is baked before filling, and the pan has a few vent holes in the bottom to let the steam out. It takes a little faith to believe the filling won't ooze out these tiny holes, and while the filling was not a problem, the butter in the crust did drip and smoke a little. The ends justify the means (and the cleanup).
Josie & Jordi & Jen were here for our Memorial Day cookout. We had a nice meal and dessert. The pie gets a thumbs up, but Josie was fussing, maybe because she wasn't offered any?
