  A chess pie is a custard pie, with or without the addition of fruit.
  This is a tropical recipe for this Southern favorite, though the most
  traditional versions usually use buttermilk. Chess pies often are
  baked in small pastries for individual servings and sometimes are
  topped with whipped cream or preserves at serving time. Cream the
  butter, adding the sugar gradually. When blended, add the raisins and
  beaten eggs. Bake the crust
  
  on an inverted muffin tin. Fill the shell 3/4 full, and cover with
  meringue. Cook in a moderate oven, and, when
  
  the meringue has browned slightly, stir the meringue briefly into the
  mixture with a fork. Chess pies keep a long
  
  time.
