Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup quick-cooking grits
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
  • 3/4 cups sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (9-inch) frozen pie shell, thawed
  • Sweetened whipped cream and strawberries, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

In a small saucepan, bring the water and salt to a boil. Add the grits and cook for 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the butter and cook for 1 additional minute. Set aside and cool slightly.

In a small bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla. Slowly stir into the cooled grits. Pour into the pie shell and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until set. Serve warm or cold with whipped cream and strawberries as a garnish, if desired.

    My husband and II were watching your show and saw you making the grits pie. My husband loves grits and he asked me to try to... make it for him, he said it looks soooooooo goood. I have made the pie twice, my mother-in-law, my husband and my grandbabies love it. They want me to continue to make one every week. I love watching you and am planning on trying alot more of your receipes. Read more

    This pie was good. Very easy to make. I've made it twice now, once with the strawberries and whipped cream served warm... (tastes like strawberry shortcake in pie form), the other time i did add nutmeg by sprinkling it on top before baking it and then served cold. Both ways are good. Read more

    Try plumping some golden raisins, dry cranberries or currents and fold those into the mix before baking....I also kind of... like to substitute part of the butter for some sour cream. We make sour cream raisin pie up here and with the grits for texture it is even better.Read more

    I DON'T EVEN LIKE PIE

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I was given a piece of this by a co-worker who refused to tell me what kind it was (and I almost refused to try it), but I... did and I liked it. I made it at home and my children fell in love. I brought a few pieces to work to give to other co-workers and received rave reviews. I will be making this again today for one of my Thanksgiving desserts and I pray that it will be a BIG Hit! Awesome way to put grits to use!Read more

    Thumbs up

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I actually made this pie from Paula's "The Lady and Sons Just Desserts" which calls for only 2 eggs; also, I didn't have... buttermilk so I used regular 2% milk instead. I must have over-cooked the grits because I had a hard time mixing the ingredients together. I ended up putting everything in my blender and mixing until smooth. The pie came out great! We have a familily reunion coming up, so I might use coconut flavoring instead of vanilla and see how many people think it's a coconut pie! Read more
