Southern Grits Recipe

Ingredients:

• 3 cups (590ml) water (or broth for extra flavor)
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as desired
• 1 cup Artisan Milling Co. yellow or white stone-ground grits
• 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter

Instructions:

1. In a 2-quart saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil. While whisking, sprinkle in the grits, then return to a boil.
2. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook, whisking every 2–3 minutes to prevent sticking. Adjust the cooking time based on your desired consistency:
   • 30 minutes: Runny with a slight gritty texture
   • 45 minutes: Thick, creamy, and smooth
   • 60 minutes: Stiff, yet still soft and scoopable
3. If grits become too thick, whisk in a little extra water (1–2 tablespoons at a time). If they’re too thin, cook uncovered to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
4. Once your grits reach the perfect consistency, whisk in the butter until fully melted. Remove from heat and adjust seasoning if needed.

Quick Tip:

When adding grits to your cooking liquid, scoop away any floaters—these are just a natural byproduct of the stone milling process! For added depth, replace water with chicken or vegetable broth.
