Step 1

Bring water to a boil. Bring the heat down to medium, so that the water simmers, then slowly whisk in the grits, stirring constantly until they begin to thicken. (3-5 minutes)

Step 2

Reduce the heat to low, so that the grits bubble once or twice every few seconds, but aren’t rolling. Cook for 40-50 minutes(the coarser the grits are, the longer they need to cook), stirring frequently to make sure the grits aren’t scorching on the bottom of the pan.

Step 3

Once the grits are tender and cooked through, beat in the butter and salt and serve hot.
