a bowl of Haygood Mill grits with a pat of butter

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Haygood Mill Stone-Ground Grits
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 2 ½ cups boiling water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup milk or cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Pour 1 cup of grits into a large bowl and cover with cold water.
  2. Skim or pour off the chaff as it floats to the surface. Repeat.
  3. Bring 2 1/2 cups of water to a boil in a medium-size saucepan.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon salt and slowly stir in the grits. Cook at a simmer, stirring frequently, until the grits are done — they should be quite thick and creamy — about 20 minutes.
  5. Add milk, cream, or half and half for consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste.
