Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a large saucepan over high heat, bring 6 cups water and 4 teaspoons kosher salt to a boil.
-
Step 2.
Whisk in 1 cup stone-ground grits, reduce the heat to medium high, and cook for 10 minutes, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
-
Step 3.
Reduce the heat to medium low, add ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter cut into pieces and 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and continue to cook for 15 more minutes, whisking every few minutes, until the grits are soft and no longer have a crunch to them.
-
Step 4.
Taste the grits and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if desired.
-
Step 5.
Divide the grits between four bowls, or one large bowl for sharing, and serve warm. Optionally, top with an extra pat of butter.
