1
Prepare the Liquid Base
In a large pot, bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
2
Add the Grits
Once the water is boiling, slowly add the stone ground grits while stirring continuously to prevent clumping.
3
Cook the Grits
Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Allow the grits to simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are thick and creamy.
4
Incorporate Milk and Butter
After the grits are cooked, stir in the milk, butter, and salt. Mix well until the butter is melted and everything is combined.
5
Season to Taste
Add black pepper to taste. If desired, stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and incorporated.
6
Serve
Serve the grits hot as a side dish or base for shrimp, vegetables, or any dish of your choice.
