Hello my Friends! Down here in the South we love Grits, we eat them for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snack, even Appetizers! But why not making them into a dessert, so today I am making Grits Pie! It is so delicious and flavorful it reminds you of eating a Chess Pie and Buttermilk Pie! If your a fan of Grits, you will fall in love with this Pie! Don’t forget the Whipped Cream and Strawberries. Also stay tuned at the end of the Video, ABC13 News in Houston gave me a Shoutout, so Awesome!! Baker’s Note: You can use Regular or Stone Ground Grits for this Recipe (not Instant Grits). You can serve this pie warm or at room temperature.
