“Jist pie” was called that for years. It is better known now as “chess pie.” Legend has it that in Illinois in the early 1840s, a weary settler came in from working his fields one evening and after supper, asked about dessert. His wife had no apples or peaches or berries in the cabin but she did have plenty of flour, sugar, cream, fresh eggs, and spices.
When she replied that she had pie, her husband asked, “What kind of pie?”
She replied, “Oh, jist pie.”
Â
JIST PIE: 3 egg yolks, 2/3 cup sugar, 1 tbsp. flour, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1 1/3 cups whipping cream, 1 tsp. vanilla.
Beat together yolks, sugar, flour, salt. Then fold in whipping cream and vanilla. Bake at 350° until top is golden brown, usually about fifty minutes.
