How to Make Mrs Steward's Lemon Chess Pie
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

- In a large bowl, whisk 4 large eggs until lightly beaten.
- Add ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup cornstarch, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons cornmeal. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup buttermilk and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled. Whisk until smooth.
- Add ½ cup fresh lemon juice and the zest of 2 lemons. Whisk until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust.
- Bake in the preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 10 minutes.
