Grits are all about texture and flavor! Use a good quality stone-ground cornmeal, cook them slowly for a creamy consistency, and experiment with different toppings like butter, cheese, or even a fried egg.

The secret to really good grits is using quality stone-ground grits if you can find them. Rinse them under cold water to get rid of excess starch. Cook them slowly on low heat with a ratio of about 4 parts liquid to 1 part grits, and let them simmer for at least 30-45 minutes. Using a mix of water and milk (or just milk) will make them creamier, and adding a bit of butter or cream can enhance the richness. Don’t forget to season them well with salt, and you can add pepper, garlic, cheese, or herbs for extra flavor. Stir in a good amount of butter at the end for a smooth finish, and let them sit for a few minutes to thicken up. With these tips, your grits should turn out creamy and flavorful!
