Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Grits

In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in 1 teaspoon of salt.

2. Add the Grits

Slowly whisk in 1 cup of grits to prevent lumps from forming. Reduce the heat to low.

3. Cook the Grits

Cover and cook the grits for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are thick and creamy.

4. Finish the Grits

Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and 0.5 cups of heavy cream until fully combined. Season with black pepper to taste.

5. Serve

Serve the creamy grits warm as a side dish or base for your favorite toppings.
