    You're funny. "I know it looks like a lot of sugar, but it's for 2 pies." Uh, it still looks like a lot of sugar. :)

    Jack, vinegar is included in this recipe so it sours the milk slightly. It then acts as a substitute for buttermilk. :) Incidentally, another name for chess pie is buttermilk pie. At least, that's what they call it in my part of Texas, lol.

    I am from TN and have eaten chess pie my entire life. The origin of "Chess Pie" is not known. The version the patron tells is the prevailing theory because it makes for a good story. I find it ironic the he mispronounces the word "mispronunciation".

    @innhoster evaporated milk is in a can and you can find it on the baking aisle of your supermarket. 60% of the water has been evaporated out of the milk and it's creamier. there is never a stupid question with me.

  • @cookingwithjackshow
    @cookingwithjackshow  14 років тому +2

    @derekbegins the recipe I had said cook at 425 for 10 minutes then 300 for 40 minutes. The first two pies came out like the blooper. The third pie came out the same way after cooking longer. So I finally researched chess pie cooking times all over the net. I nailed the last one at 350 for 1 hour. Yeah!!!

    @dimitrizeman100 look in the frozen door section next to frozen dessert pies. I used Marie Calendar's deep dish pie crust. 2 in a package.

  • @cookingwithjackshow
    @cookingwithjackshow  13 років тому +2

    @zeldafreak701 it should be cooked at 350 for one hour. if it still looks liquidy then put back in for about 10 more minutes. It should be more custard inside. it will thicken when cool.

    Yea, Tennessee! I would not want to live anywhere else. Jack, I love your videos and the fact that you admit to bloopers. First time I’ve heard a you tuber admit that. You are a breath of fresh air. Keep those videos coming. I also love your sense of humor. I love to laugh....good medicine for the soul.

  • @trbrmc1348
    @trbrmc1348 5 місяців тому

    Made 4 pies, because “something was wrong with the recipe”. Sure, you would know. Master baker! You can’t just “make double batches” by doubling number of ingredients for pies and cakes and expect they’ll work. Also, you don’t appear to know how to make a custard, so it broke on you and then you blame the recipe lol.

  • @d.lawrence5670

    James Beard (as in, the food historian), said Chess Pie originated in England. Apparently, all the American South did was add some cornmeal to it.

    • @rebel4466

    Hey, do you think you could substitute evaporated milk and sugar with some equivalent volume of sweetened condensed milk?

    • @layah28
      @layah28 6 років тому

      Mark F I've tried condensed milk before. It made my pie very creamy. I liked it. Just adjust the sugar in your pie because condensed milk is already sweet enough and you don't want a very extremely sweet pie dish. I've also used Almond milk or regular milk. It still came out tasting delicious.

    I'm making this pie for Pie Day today! No other pie can represent Pie Day better than "Just Pie"! :D
    I'm going to be making my own crust though because I make pies so good, no one believes me when I tell them I made it from scratch when I use a pre-made crust, they accuse me of reheating pies bought from a professional bakery or grocery store!

    All the homemade chess pies I've tasted, they ALL tasted too much like eggs. The only chess pie I ever liked were made by Busken's and Graeters.

    • @layah28
      @layah28 6 років тому +1

      Terrance Williams That's because Buskens and Graeter's never use the whole egg. They only use Egg Yolks.

  • @bonehead0816
    @bonehead0816 12 років тому

    you almost helped make my point, i may have not worded it good. but yes your heritage may be 100% one thing, but you yourself are both your heritage and your nationality, like if your american, and you have a great great grandson, hes gonna call himself 100% american most likely, with some german heritage(example) so there is a line in which you have to combine both, as thats what you are, you are a product of both your parents heritage and your country.

  • @aquenita27
    @aquenita27 12 років тому

    Negative. You're confusing citizenship and paperwork with heritage and genetics. Biologically speaking, if both your parents are from Italy, you are still Italian genetically and heritage-wise 100%. As you grow up in another country, yes it will influence your outlook, but it does not change your lineage. This is what Jack and the other poster of Korean descent are referring to. You are crossing two completely different and unrelated things.

  • @derekbegins
    @derekbegins 14 років тому

    Guys stop saying
    omg the sugar,Suger and butter omg" or anything related.
    Jack said he's making twice the recipe. and trust me you guys wont eat the entire pie in a day. and come on? this is a dessert what do you expect? and Jack isnt doing diet food show. so stop complaining? if u're scared about the butter and sugar,dont make it? and seriously simplest don't watch.

  • @a181570s
    @a181570s 14 років тому

    Jack, I just wanted to let you know that while that guy's story regarding the origin of Chess Pie is amusing, it's not accurate. The word “chess” is an Americanization of the English word “cheese,” referring to curd pie. Basically, the Chess Pie is a cheese-less cheesecake

    I have never tasted this pie but I imagine it tastes like vanilla, corn and eggs. My niece's husband makes buttermilk pie and it is pretty similar. They are all custard pies. JUST pie. Willing to bet if you meringued up the egg whites separately and folded that in last that it would be a little fluffier and not quite as dense. Just a hunch though. Custards are best cooked in the oven with a water bath, similar to how cheesecakes are baked...
