Instructions
- Add water, milk, salt and 2 teaspoons butter to a medium saucepan or pot (one that you have a fitted lid for). Bring to a boil. Have grits and a whisk ready and stand by.
- As soon as you see the liquid start to boil, start whisking. Slowly start adding the grits, whisking them in as you go to help reduce clumps. Keep whisking the entire time adding the grits, taking about 30 seconds to add, and then for another 30 seconds.
- Reduce heat to low. Cover with a fitted lid and cook until grits are cooked perfectly to your liking (for grits with a little bite about 5-8 minutes, for fluffier grits keep cooking for 10-15 minutes). Stir every 2-3 minutes scraping the bottom and sides to keep the grits from sticking to the pan.
- Stir in remaining butter and black pepper. Taste and adjust salt as needed. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Grits will continue to thicken as they sit. To get them thinner again just whisk in a little water.
