How To Make Creamy Southern Grits

Ingredients:

2 cups water
2 cups milk
1 cup regular grits
Salt
¼ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter

Heat the 2 cups of water and the milk in a heavy bottomed saucepan until just simmering.

Stir the grits into the simmering water and milk mixture. Cook, stirring often, until the grits are tender to the bite and have thickened to the consistency of thick oatmeal. As the grits thicken, stir them more often to keep them from sticking and scorching.

Season the grits generously with salt, and stir in the heavy cream and butter. Remove the grits from heat and let rest, covered, until ready to serve.
