What is cornmeal pie? 

Cornmeal, chess and vinegar pies are all very similar. The recipe I give contains no vinegar or vanilla, but you experiment with any of these variants!

Chess pie is a dessert characteristic of Southern U.S. cuisine. Recipes vary, but are generally similar in that they call for the preparation of a single crust and a filling composed of eggs, butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla. What sets chess pie apart from many other custard pies is the substitution of corn meal for flour. Some recipes also call for corn syrup, which tends to create a more gelatinous consistency. The pie is then baked. ...
