Introduction

My dad is from South Carolina and loves this dish. He always asks me to make it for him. It's a side dish, but it's good enough to serve for dessert. Last time I left the butter out altogether and this was still fabulous. My dad is from South Carolina and loves this dish. He always asks me to make it for him.
