Oh dear! Bless your heart!
Full-sized chess pies are a tradition in many southern homes during the holidays. Made in small tarts for individual servings, chess pies are also appropriate for summer outings. Chess pies are, in some ways, like pies made out of the filling for a pecan pie. However, the chess is a rich, bright yellow color and is made mainly from eggs and LOTS of sugar. It has a VERY thin, light crust where the top of the confection cooks to a crispy layer.
You might think of it as a cross between a custard pie and the filling for a pecan pie.
Yum!
