Method

Cooking the Grits

  1. 1

    Prepare the Water

    In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Add Grits

    Once the water is boiling, stir in 1 cup of white corn grits and 1 teaspoon of salt.

  3. 3

    Reduce Heat

    Lower the heat to medium-low and let the grits simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Cook Time

    Cook the grits for about 20-25 minutes until they are thick and creamy. If they become too thick, add a little more water.

  5. 5

    Finish with Optional Add-ins

    Once cooked, stir in optional ingredients like 2 tablespoons of butter, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and 1 tablespoon of heavy cream for a richer flavor. Season with black pepper to taste.
