Chess Pie (MaMaw Burkett's)

This is a dear friend's great grandmother's MaMaw Burkett's recipe - from the deep south - that has been enjoyed year after year.

2 cups sugar
2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour, unbleached
5 whole eggs
1 cup butter, melted
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 recipe Pâte Sucrée (French Sweet Shortcrust)

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C/160°C fan, Gas Mark 4).

In a large bowl, combine sugar and flour. Beat in the eggs until blended. Stir in the melted butter, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. Pour filling into the pie crust.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until filling is set.
