Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup milk
1″ piece of vanilla bean
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 half and half
zest of one large lemon
1 (9-inch) frozen pie shell, partially baked

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In a small saucepan, bring the milk and vanilla to a simmer. 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, half and half, lemon zest 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 berries as a garnish, if desired.
