Almost the opposite of Mr. Bailey's pie, the James
Beard chess pie is much sweeter and enjoys the kick
of lemon juice and a beautiful glossy finish. It rests
in a traditional pastry crust.
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
3 egg yolks
1 teaspoon grated lemon
rind
1 teaspoon grated orange
rind
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons lemon
juice
9" pastry
shell, uncooked, or 6 individual tart shells,
uncooked
Cream the butter and sugar and add the egg yolks one
at a time. Beat thoroughly after each addition.
Blend in the grated lemon rinds, the salt and the lemon
juice.
 Spread
filling into the pie or tart shells and bake in a 350°
oven for 25-30 minutes. Cool completely.
