Jiffy?

Is Corn Muffin Mix, not cornbread. Corn Muffins are sweet, Corn bread is not.

Quaker Corn Meal???

Ive never seen that before!

 

[vintagekitchen]

Quaker corn meal

It's carried in all the grocery stores here. Quaker cornmeal is a coarser grind than bagged cornmeal meant for baking. People in this are use it to make cornmeal mush, or to bread items for deep frying.

Well I made it tonight, the filling tasted good even before going in the oven. I got it made and in thr oven, then somewhat unexpectedly had to leave to pick up a friend from the other side of town (planned on picking her up at 9:30, she called at 8 saying she was ready). I left my Dad strict instructions on how to test it, and had a timer set. Got home and it had just come out of the oven... Way overcooked, the crust is dry as dirt and the filling burned on top. the inside tastes good though. I will try it again when I can stay home until it is done.

My attempt at Chess Pie

It came out pretty well, using Kevin's blender recipe. I use frozen pre-made pie crusts because I'm too lazy to roll my own.

What I normally do when baking pies, and did in this case, is to place strips of foil around the outer edge of the pie crust, to keep it from getting too brown. Then I remove the strips in the last 10 minutes of baking. (I just purchased a silicone pie-edge device that claims to do the same thing, except it should be easier to use.)

Anyway, the pie puffed up, like a meringue, when baking. Some of the filling stuck to the foil, which came off when I removed the foil. Then when the pie was cooling, it fell to what you see in the photo. I'm guessing that's normal?

It tasted great. The first piece broke in half, but that was "operator error" (me) as the remaining pieces came out just fine.

Thanks, Kevin, for sharing Ginger's recipe.

Perfectly normal, and congratulations, your pie looks perfect!

Everyone is more than welcome for the recipe, I never understood people who don't share recipes, it always seemed so stingy / mean spirited of them.

Re Recipe Sharing!

I agree, I love to share recipes, I hope someone else will enjoy them as much as I do.I knew an old lady years ago that made a wonderful orange cake, but would not give out the recipe, now shes gone and so is the recipe! what a waste.

I made "Minnie's chocolate pie" today, and it turned out perfect! So delicious! It was a huge hit, even my Dad who hasn't been able to taste chocolate in over a year (since chemo and radiation for throat cancer) could taste it and loved it! So easy and SO GOOD!

... So I'm snooping for recipes... Another two to add to the list... but...

OK so I am adopted to my Maternal Grandparents.. When I say mom and dad, I mean them not the.. biological parents.. When I say Grandma and Grandpa, I mean my paternal grandparents....

So, I am... A hybrid I guess.. Mom and dad are from the south.. Mom was born in Ranger Texas and dad was born in San Antonio... They moved up to North Dakota in the 80s during the first oil boom. Dad's job brought him here. Ok, so things happen and I'm born and adopted by mom and dad. My biological father is German... ... like ... My paternal side of the family is WAY German...

So to get on point.. I can eat kase knoephla, fleischkuechle, sauerbraten, kohlrouladen and kuchen to then go home and eat grits, fried chicken, steak and potatoes, pinto beans, chili, black-eyed peas and pork chops.. (Not all in one day, but you get the point.. ) Mom makes savory corn bread, sometimes even puts jalapenos in it -- Grandma makes sweet corn bread... Both are great with honey and butter, Mom's is better with a sweet chow chow, Grandma's is generally served with breakfast with one exception.. I love Grandma's sweet corn bread with collard greens!

Mom has always been able to do Southern food very very well... .. When she tries to get out of her comfort zone things get... interesting... but.. I don't know what happened, one time she was making corn bread and we had more people over than normal and... She wasn't thinking and got her baking powder and baking soda mixed up.... OMG.... .... ........ we ran out of Charmin that night. That one she won't ever live down.

Yes, making ANOTHER one!

The AMKrayoGuy Chess Pie (w/ a couple TSP's of Hershy's Chocolate Powder for Baking out in) rides again!

But: Quick! What do I do? Over-FORTY-MINUTES in the oven on its 325-deg. and it's still JIGGLY!

I don't want it to burn... Will it HARDEN in the REFRIGERATOR?!

[daveamkrayoguy]

Nope, don't need help--I just turned up the temp to Three-FIFTY! Gave a good, watched, additional number of minutes--and Viola!!!!

Here she goes:

I need to try this one soon.  I have gotten a lot of excellent recipes from aw, and this looks like another.

 

I miss seeing Kevin’s posts.   I hope he is okay.

I like Chess Pie very much, but haven't had it for quite a while. I've made it before, but that was many years ago. I used to go to a restaurant that had it, but it's been so long I can't remember which place it was.

[cuffs054]

Dave that does look good. How did you change the recipe to include the coconut and Papple? Oh yeah, and the cherries?

 

[daveamkrayoguy]

This is "Post# 726289, Reply# 1"--Ginger's Recipe:

I guess long-overdue that I made what is the "original" one, with these ingredients...

Tasted good!
