Feb 11, 2026 11:29 PM

  For some reason this delicious sweet is almost unknown today.

  

Ingredients

Serves 6

  1/2 cup butter

  1 cup sugar

  3 egg yolks

  1 teaspoon grated lemon rind

  1 teaspoon grated orange rind

  1/4 teaspoon salt

  2 tablespoons lemon juice

  9" pastry shell, uncooked, or 6 individual tart shells, uncooked

  

Step 1

Cream the butter and sugar and add the egg yolks one at a time. Beat thoroughly after each addition. Blend in the grated lemon rinds, the salt and the lemon juice. Fill the pie or tart shells and bake in a 350°F. oven for 25-30 minutes.

  

Step 2

NOTE: Chess pies are really best made as individual tarts.
