Caramel Chess Pie
Caramel Chess Pie is a traditional, old-fashioned chess pie with a delightful caramel flavor.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, whisked or sifted to remove any clumps
- 1 egg
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a medium heavy-bottomed pan, heat butter, both sugars, milk, and flour over medium heat. Stir constantly until butter is melted and sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and pour into a large bowl. Let cool 15 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk egg, egg yolks, vanilla, salt, and nutmeg together.
- Slowly whisk about 1 cup of butter mixture into eggs (this prevents them from curdling). Then whisk the egg mixture into the butter mixture.
- Pour into pie shell.
- Bake 10 minutes and then reduce heat to 325 degrees and bake 35 more minutes.
Notes
Let cool completely before slicing. I typically refrigerate it overnight.
