Main ingredient: grits

Pairs well with: coffee, orange juice, fresh fruit, toast

Serving count not stated for this recipe, so quantities are shown as written.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup grits (stone-ground or quick-cooking corn grits)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon butter (optional, to serve)

Method

  1. Bring the water and salt to a rolling boil in a small saucepan.
  2. Rain the grits in slowly, whisking constantly so no lumps form.
  3. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently, stirring every few minutes so the grits do not catch on the bottom.
  4. Cook for 5 minutes for quick grits or 20 to 25 minutes for stone-ground grits, adding a splash more hot water if they become too thick, until soft and creamy with no raw, grainy taste.
  5. Serve hot in a bowl, with butter stirred in if using, alongside eggs, sausage, or stewed fish.
