Equipment

  • medium saucepan

Ingredients
  

  • ½ Cup stone ground yellow or white grits
  • 2 ½ Cups whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • pinch kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Bring the grits, 2 cups of the whole milk, butter, and a large pinch of kosher salt to a boil, stirring occasionally so the grits do not burn.
  • Once the mixture comes to a boil, turn down the heat to medium-low and stir occasionally but vigorously for 20 to 30 seconds at a time. Continue to do this until thick like wet sand. It should take around 15 to 18 minutes or so.
  • Add ½ cup more milk, stirring occasionally but vigorously for 10 more minutes until thick and creamy.
  • Serve and enjoy. Grits will thicken even more as they cool.
