Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups sugar
Finely grated zest of 3 large lemons
Juice of 3 large lemons
5 large eggs
1/3 cup butter, melted
One 9-inch unbaked pie shell (see About Pie Crusts, below)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • 2. Combine the sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a medium- size bowl. Beat the eggs in, one by one, then add the butter in a slow stream, beating all the while.
  • 3. Pour the filling into the pie shell, slide the pie onto a baking sheet, and bake on the middle oven shelf for about 45 minutes or until puffed and delicately browned.
  • 4. Transfer the pie to a wire rack and cool to room temperature before cutting; don't fret when the filling begins to fall. This is what gives chess pies their silken texture. Cut into slim wedges and serve.
