How to Make Flying Biscuit's Creamy Dreamy White Cheddar Grits

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups of water, 2 cups of half-and-half, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground 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.
  3. Reduce heat to low, and continue to whisk frequently for 8-10 minutes, or until the grits are thick, creamy, and completely smooth.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of shredded white cheddar cheese until melted and fully incorporated.
  5. Give the grits a final whisk to ensure everything is combined smoothly.
  6. Remove from heat and let the grits rest, covered, for 5 minutes. This allows the grits to fully absorb the liquid and become extra creamy.
  7. Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter until the grits are completely smooth, silky, and shiny.
