How to Make Grits

Step 1

Bring milk, water, and salt to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 2

Slowly add grits while whisking to avoid lumps.

Step 3

Cook grits covered over medium-low heat, stirring frequently ( about 15 minutes for regular grits, 5 minutes for quick-cooking grits).

Step 4

Remove from heat and stir in butter. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
