How to Make Southern Grits Rice Style

  1. Combine 1 cup of grits, 2 cups of water, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a 3-quart saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring frequently to prevent lumps. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low, cover the saucepan, and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and continue cooking for another 8-12 minutes, or until the grits have reached your desired creamy consistency, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  6. Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter (cut into small cubes) and let the grits rest, covered, for 1 minute.
  7. Fluff with a fork and serve immediately. Enjoy your incredibly creamy Southern Grits Rice Style!
