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.

I doubled the grits but left everything else the same. It came out perfectly! Love the texture, it's almost like tapioca pie!

An unusual but delicious pie. I halved the butter in the recipe and used only 1/2 stick; also used skim milk as I didn't have buttermilk on hand. The pie was still rich and custardy. Would definitely make this again.
