Georgia’s Cornmeal Pie

This cornmeal pie has a nutty flavor similar to pecan pie, even without adding the nuts. This could be a nut-free cost saver since nuts are expensive. Another one of Georgia’s introductions to the southern Roane County, WV dining scene.

Difficulty: Easy

Servings: 8 - 12

Prep Time: 30 minutes   Cook Time: 40 minutes

2 unbaked pie shells
1 cup butter or margarine
2 cups granulated sugar

8 Tablespoons cornmeal (stone-ground preferred)
3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

Mix all ingredients (except nuts) in a heavy saucepan. Bring mixture to a slow boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 3 minutes. Add nuts if desired. Pour into pie shells and bake at 375 degrees for 35 – 40 minutes until inserted toothpick comes out clean.
