Ingredients:

  • 1 (9-inch) prepared pie crust
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (1 stick/113g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • ¼ cup (30g) all-purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Place pie crust in the pie plate. If using a pre-made crust, crimp the edges decoratively. If making your own, blind bake according to your crust recipe (or the packaged instructions).
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, eggs, milk, vinegar, and vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until smooth and fully combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges but still slightly wobbly in the center. The top should be golden brown.
  8. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This chess pie recipe is best when cooled.
