Sheree's Homemade Cooking Made Easy

Has anyone ever had a cornmeal pie? This pie is considered an old family favorite. I think some consider this the poor man’s way of having a pecan pie since it tastes very similar just without the pecans. You will need the following ingredients:

In another bowl add the water and eggs and beat them until they foam.

Pour this mixture into the unbaked pie shell and bake for 50 – 60 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the middle of the pie.

Store the leftovers in the refrigerator.

Note: You can certainly use a frozen or refrigerated pie crust from the store if you do not wish to make a homemade one.

This pie is so delicious and it is so easy to make. It is especially a good pie to make if someone you are cooking for can not have the pecans. I have taken this to family gatherings, church pot luck’s and sometimes I just make it to enjoy with my immediate family.
