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

- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (9-inch) frozen pie shell, thawed

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.

Love it!! A lot of people have never tried or don't like grits but every time I make this pie no one realizes that there are grits in it, they take it as a custard pie and just gobble it down. Just wonderful in the morning with your coffee (hot nescafe. If there are leftovers warm it up in the oven not the microwave (as it makes it soggy and you don't want that. Whipped cream on it and you are good to go.

Amazing pie, beautiful texture and fabulous taste. I did have a little trouble getting it to set and ended up having to cook it close to an hour. Really good though!
