Prepare a 9-inch deep dish pie shell, ensuring it has no holes or openings.

If there are any holes, wet your hands and press them together to seal.

Do not prick the bottom of the pie shell.

In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup of granulated white sugar and 1 stick of melted butter, and blend them together.

Add 3 eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Add 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour (optional) to the mixture.

Next, add 1 cup of yellow cornmeal.

Then, add 1 cup of Carnation evaporated milk.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Finally, add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar and mix everything until well combined.

Pour the mixture into the prepared pie shell.

Place the pie shell on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 50 minutes.

Check for a crust on top, which indicates it is ready.

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool before serving.
