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
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. ~ Chef ~
