Mrs. Steward's Lemon Chess Pie

"This recipe uses 50% less sugar than most recipes for Lemon Chess Pie, but still tastes great. This pie is best made using a wire whisk for blending. Electric mixers incorporate too much air into the filling and yield mixed results."

  1. My family commented that this pie didn't taste very sweet, so if I made it again, I would have to add more sugar. Don't know if I will or not.

I live in Los Angeles, CA with my husband. Since getting married I've embarked on a journey to learn new recipes and cooking techniques. My favorite cookbooks so far are Turn Up The Heat with G. Garvin and Mo'nique's "Skinny Cooks Can't be Trusted". I also like Rachel Ray's 365 No Repeats.
