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.

    Thumbs up

    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

    Very good pie... I did decrease the butter some. A whole stick of butter made it a little greasy to me. Very easy to make... and very tasty.Read more

    What a surprise!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Who would ever think to make a Grits Pie.......only Paula Deen....wow, this was so good and so easy. It's like a custard pie... with that little bit of texture. This was truly delicious. We eat a lot of grits in our house, so I'll be making this more often now to share with friends and family. Thanks Paula.......truly comfort food......Read more

    Surprisingly Yummy!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I've never heard of grits pie so I had to try it. How can you not? It sounded so easy! So I did and I'm so glad I did. I... was so yummy. I don't like egg custard based pies but the grits gave it the perfect texture. I made it for a dinner party and everyone loved it and wanted seconds. It's a must try pie even if you don't like grits or egg custard pies!Read more

    My husband and I just love it, have made it several times, we love warming a piece in the mornings with coffee for breakfast.... Also made it for our Sunday Brunch last weekend, everyone took it for a custard pie, they loved it, especially the kids. Sure will be making this often, a must for breakfast. Read more
