SOUTHERN LEMON CHESS PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Set aside.
• In large bowl, cream together sugar, cornmeal, lemon juice, butter and egg yolks for 5 minutes or more until creamy.
• Gently fold beaten egg whites into this lemon mixture. Gently pour filling into pie crust. Bake about 15 minutes or until top of pie begins to brown.
• Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees and bake an additional 25 to 30 minutes or more until pie is just set in the middle.
• It should be a little jiggly, not runny, in the middle. Remove from oven and cool.
• It can be refrigerated, but is best served at room temperature. Covered, this pie will keep unrefrigerated for up to 4 days.
