Recipe | Island Grits

Ingredients List

Directions

  1. Bring water to a rapid boil in a heavy saucepan (you may start with 3 cups of water and add the 4th as needed while cooking — this may reduce cook time, but will require a closer eye and more stirring).
  2. Add salt and butter.
  3. Add grits and stir well until water boils again.
  4. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and continue cooking for about 25 minutes, stirring often and adding water if needed.
  5. Add additional salt and butter to taste.

Will yield about 4 cups of cooked grits.

Cooking time may vary depending on the stove top and the conditions in the kitchen. Elevation and humidity effect cooking times.
