1
Prepare the Liquid
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water and 1 cup of milk to a boil.
2
Add the Grits
Once the liquid is boiling, slowly whisk in the grits to prevent lumps from forming.
3
Cook the Grits
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the grits simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until they become thick and creamy.
4
Add Butter and Season
Once the grits are cooked, remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5
Serve
Spoon the creamy grits into bowls and enjoy them warm as a side dish or breakfast.
