"Chess pies are a southern tradition, beloved as much for their ease of preparation as for their great flavor. The filling is customarily thickened with a bit of cornmeal, rather than flour, resulting in a subtle coarseness that nicely complements the especially lemony flavor of this particular recipe...."
