Recipe adapted from Paula Deen’s Southern Cooking Bible.
As you may know, I got a Paula Deen cook book for Christmas. I found this recipe for grits pie and was immediately intrigued. Thanks to a new found love of grits from the Grillades and Grits recipe I knew I had to try this odd-sounding dessert. I made it and holy cow is it delicious. It is the perfect amount of sweetness with a wonderful texture from the grits. Plus it was incredibly easy. Paula Deen has a crust recipe, but I’m lazy and don’t like the mess so I used a pre-made crust. I also had to use two pie crusts because it was WAY too much filling for one pie. I would definitely recommend experimenting with this one and finding out just how awesome grits can be in any form.

This sounds really good and it even looks good, despite the strange title. Does it taste anything like lemon custard? I guess I am just thrown off by the yellow coloring.
Thanks! It is a lot like a custard but no lemon. The yellow is from the ridiculous amount of butter.
