Title: [Bubba-L] Chess Pie
Categories: Pie Southern
Yield: 8 Servings

1		Stick butter at room
		Temperature
1 3/4	c	Sugar
3		Egg yolks
2		Whole eggs
1	c	Heavy cream
2	ts	Ground cinnamon
2	ts	Grated nutmeg
1		Unbaked pie shell

Preheat the oven at 450 degrees. Cream the butter and sugar. Add the egg yolks and whole eggs separately, then beat them until you get a lemony mixture. It's best to beat the yolks and the eggs as you add them. Add the heavy cream with the cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour the ingredients into the pie shell. Bake for 15 minutes; at this time, reduce the heat to 350 degrees. Continue baking for 35 minutes (use your own judgement--if the pie looks burnt, it's burnt) until a crusty, brown top forms. Insert a toothpick in the centre of your pie and see if it comes out clean. You could serve 8 moderate eaters or 3 bubbas.
