In a medium saucepan over high heat, bring to a boil...

  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp butter, for serving

When liquid has reached a rolling boil, slowly pour in...

  • 1 cup stone ground grits

Note: If using instant or "quick cook" grits, reduce cooking time to package directions.

Return mixture to a boil then cover and reduce heat to a simmer.

Cook grits for 20-40 minutes, stirring frequently every 3-5 minutes to avoid them sticking to the pot or for a skin to form.

Serve immediately with a knob of butter and a side of bacon and eggs. Enjoy!
