This is along the lines of a custard. My mama made this every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It has more cornmeal (yellow preferably) than others and has no flour. The cornmeal gives it a crunchy texture and unique taste. Mama's original pie called for sugar, but I made this recipe with Splenda so it would be sugar-free.
