Here's a southern spin on a traditional dish. Sounds odd, but taste delicious!
Key Lime Grits Pie
1 unbaked deep-dish 9" pie shell
1 cup water
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup quick cokking grits
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 talespoons all-purpose flour
3 egg yolks, slightly beaten
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup key lime juice
Prepare your crust and set aside. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In a small saucepan , bring water and salt to a boil. Add grits and cook for 4 minutes, stirring the entire side. Add butter and continue to cook and stir for an additional minute. Set aside.
Stir together sugar, flour, egg yolks, buttermilk and key lime juice. Stir into cooked grits. Pour into baked pie shell and bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until set.
You can either prepare a meringue topping for this pie or a whipped cream topping, depending on your preference. Enjoy!!
