1
Prepare the Water
In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 tsp of salt.
2
Add the Grits
Slowly stir in 1 cup of grits into the boiling water, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
3
Cook the Grits
Reduce heat to low and cover the saucepan. Cook the grits for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are thick and creamy.
4
Finish the Grits
Once cooked, remove from heat and stir in 2 tbs of butter. If desired, mix in 1 cup of cheddar cheese until melted. Season with black pepper to taste.
