My Grandmother's Chess Pie
6 eggs
3 c. sugar
1 stick margarine or butter, melted
2 t. vanilla
2 t. vinegar
2 T. flour, plain
2 T. cornmeal
3 regular unbaked pie shells, or 2 deep dish pie shells
Combine all ingredients thoroughly. Place pie shells on covered cookie sheet. Pour mixture into crusts. Bake at 325 degrees for 40 minutes, turn oven off, and leave pie in oven another 10-15 minutes. Pie is done when knife inserted in center comes out clean or pie is no longer jiggly. Makes its own top crust. Cool completely (at least 2 hours) before cutting. YUM!!
*weather may affect how this pie comes out
**Another variation: (found after mom passed away)

1 t. cornmeal

3/4 c. milk
