Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (175g) Stone-Ground Grits
  • 4 cups (950ml) Water OR 2 cups (475ml) Water + 2 cups (475ml) Milk
  • 1 teaspoon (6g) Salt
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) Heavy Cream (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) Unsalted Butter

Instructions:

  1. Bring the water (or water/milk mixture) and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Gradually whisk in the grits, ensuring no lumps form.
  3. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer gently for 25-30 minutes, stirring frequently (every 5-7 minutes). The grits should be creamy and thickened.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted and incorporated. If using, stir in the heavy cream.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately while hot.
