How to Make Flying Biscuit Cafe Creamy Dreamy White Cheddar Grits

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups water, 2 cups half-and-half, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Slowly pour in 1 cup of coarse ground grits while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  3. Continue whisking frequently for 8-10 minutes, or until the grits are thick, creamy, and completely smooth. Adjust heat as needed to prevent sticking or scorching.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1 cup of shredded sharp white cheddar cheese until completely melted and incorporated.
  5. Whisk gently to ensure a smooth consistency.
  6. Remove from heat and let the grits rest, covered, for 5 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the grits to become even creamier.
  7. Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter until the grits are completely smooth, silky, and shiny.
