"Furr's Cafeteria is a restaurant chain here in Texas known for their butter chess pie. I found the recipe on-line and it was supposedly posted by a former employee of Furr's. I don't know how true this is, but I do know the pie tastes exactly like the restaurant version. Warning!!! This pie is very sweet so you might want to add some lemon juice and lemon zest to add a little tartness to it. I suspect you could also add some cocoa if you wanted it to be chocolate. I have prepared the recipe as originally written and it turned out really well."
