1
Rinse the Grits
Rinse the stone ground grits under cold water in a fine mesh strainer to remove any dust or impurities.
2
Boil Water
In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.
3
Add Salt
Once the water is boiling, add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.

4
Add Grits
Slowly add 1 cup of stone ground grits to the boiling water while stirring continuously to prevent clumping.
5
Simmer
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the grits simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and creamy.
6
Add Butter and Pepper
Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, mixing well until the butter is melted and evenly distributed.

7
Serve Hot
Spoon the grits into bowls and top with optional toppings like cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions as desired.
