Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. 
  2. Prepare the homemade pie crust using my recipe, or use a store-bought pie crust if you're short on time. Roll it out and place it into a pie dish. Finish the edges however you like!
  3. Melt the butter in a saucepan or in the microwave then allow it to cool.
  4. In a small mixing bowl whisk the eggs until blended well and set aside.
  5. In a large mixing bowl add the granulated sugar, cornmeal, flour, and salt. Stir until combined.
  6. Add the milk, vinegar, vanilla, and whisked eggs to the bowl of dry ingredients. Whisk together until incorporated.
  7. Mix in the cooled butter until smooth and combined.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared crust. Carefully place the pie on a baking sheet and into the preheated oven.
  9. Bake at 350° F for 45 minutes to 1 hour or the until edges are set. It's normal for the center to wiggle slightly. Cover the pie with foil for the last 10 minutes if the edges of the crust are getting too brown.
  10. Allow the pie to cool for 1 hour before slicing and serving. Dust powdered sugar on top of the pie before serving if you desire!
  11. Cover and store leftover pie in the refrigerator.
