1
Boil the Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
2
Add Salt
Once the water is boiling, stir in 1 teaspoon of salt.

Add Grits
Slowly whisk in 1 cup of grits to prevent lumps from forming.

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 are thick and creamy.

Once the grits are cooked, remove them from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter until melted.
