How to Make Southern Style Lemon Chess Pie Filling
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
- Gradually whisk in the lemon juice, ensuring no lumps form.
- Stir in the butter and lemon zest.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before using. If using as a pudding, serve immediately. If using for a pie, pour into your prepared pie crust and let it cool completely before serving.
