Seems reasonable. Never had grits, never felt the need to try them, and have never seen them on the menu of any reasonably legit breakfast serving restaurant.

You have to put milk in your grits. It’s the only way. 2 cups water and two cups whole milk. Little salt and butter. Bring to a boil. Add one cup grits. Real grits, like Geechie Boy or Lakeside white grits. Use a whisk when adding grits so they don’t stick. Reduce heat to low boil and cover. Stir often. Don’t cook them any less than 20-30 minutes. When they start looking thick, add milk and cook some more. The key to great grits is time. And fat. Whole milk and butter.

This dude gets it. Cook that shit, add some milk or cream, cook that shut some more. Then cook it a little more and they will be done.

nothing better than some good grits.

If you’re using stone ground grits, make sure they’ve been hulled. If not, soak them in water before cooking. The hulls will float and you can strain them off. If you don’t, they will be difficult to eat.

Got these at that place and the shrimp and grits was great. They are closed now because of the shut down.
Will take the advise.

Chicken stock, 2 tablespoons of Texas Pete. Bring to a boil. Whisk in grits for 1-2 minutes, reduce to simmer. Stir often. Around 25-30 thin grits with heavy cream.
Cook 15-20 minutes, thin with milk.
Cook 5-10 minutes. Grits should never be served until they have cooked for at least 1 hr. When served, top with butter, S&P to taste.
