Let's make something good
How to make it
4 steps. Take it one step at a time.
Combine the water, milk, and salt
In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the water, milk, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Slowly whisk in the grits, stirring constantly
Slowly whisk in the grits, stirring constantly to prevent any lumps from forming.
Reduce the heat to low
Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, whisking every 5 minutes to ensure the bottom does not scorch. The grits should be tender and the liquid mostly absorbed.
25 minRemove from heat
Remove from heat and stir in the butter until completely melted and incorporated. Adjust salt to taste and serve immediately.
A little kitchen wisdom
For the best texture, use stone-ground grits rather than instant ones. Whisking frequently is the secret to preventing lumps and achieving maximum creaminess.
