Reviews
My favorite during my 5 years at Hockaday and every time I return for events. RIP Ms. Rosie Bell.
It only takes 1 stick of butter for this, It will not setup if you use the amount listed. Other than that it is wonderful.. Made them for a Veterans meeting& many of them had never eaten chess pie. They were back for seconds.
Made this for years. Can add lemon ext for Lemon chess or maple extract for a fall favorite. Sometimes I add half a can of pumpkin pie mix to it to make a pumpkin chess that is awesome for Thanksgiving.
I liked that this recipe, it is simple and easy. I substituted a few items, I used evaporated milk and rice vinegar simply because this is what I had available.
Was fortunate enough to eat this each and every time it was offered as a student at Hockaday! I was so excited the first time this recipe was published in our alumni magazine that I immediately made it for my family. The taste of it brings back the sweetest memories for me.
It is a sweet pie, but I love it just the same!

This was entirely too sweet!
Taste like a Butter Milk Pie;Yum, Yum, Yum.
Just like they made it when I was there at school. Fantastic!
great tasting pie, was a great success at xmas work party!!!
This is a great recipie, the flavor is really great but just make sure that you use deep dish pans because the pie will rise and run over the pie pan if you use regular pie pans. Other than that no problem with the recipie. Very simple to make.
