The cornmeal acts as a thickener instead of the usual cornstarch, flour or tapioca, and in this case it gives the pie that wonderful yellow color. Lisa, chess pies often have lemon in this one, but this one had vinegar instead, and I like it better, I think. Cara-I know you think you'd like all the sugar on top, but trust me, it would be like biting into a fork full of brown sugar, and I think you would not even realize that you were eating pie. Restraint, in this case, was a very good thing. <br />Try this one-you'll love it...in fact, I'm making a another one today because this one is already gone!

Love it.
What does the cornmeal do...I love Pie Day. Love it.<br />What does the cornmeal do to the texture? Do you ever make Lemon Chess?<br />I find I can leave out half or 2/3 of the sugar in most "vintage" pie recipes and get very yummy, plenty sweet results. Though, like Cara, I'm just as likely to dump it all on ;)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04856665247823776540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1868741328153600799.post-19516600218706481862010-01-16T11:50:22.099-06:002010-01-16T11:50:22.099-06:00I've never had this either, it looks like such...I've never had this either, it looks like such a great homey pie- the cornmeal is such an interesting ingredient...I will have to try it!Linda @ Itsy Bits And Pieceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12090973681675943970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1868741328153600799.post-90834930005769840812010-01-15T19:37:57.867-06:002010-01-15T19:37:57.867-06:00I would've added the extra brown sugar!
