Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups water, preferably spring water
Coarse salt and freshly ground white pepper
1 cup yellow stone-ground grits
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, or a little more if desired, at room temperature
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or Grana Padano cheese, plus more if desired
Hot sauce, such as Tabasco or Cholula

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil; add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. In a slow, steady stream, whisk in grits. Continue whisking constantly to prevent clumps until they come to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until grits are thickened and tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Add butter and cheese, stirring to combine; season with salt and pepper. Add hot sauce, and more butter and cheese, if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of grits. Stone-ground grits have a more robust flavor and texture than quick-cooking grits.
  • Use creamy milk or half-and-half for a richer flavor. You can also use water, but the grits will be less creamy.
  • Add sugar or other sweeteners to taste. Grits can be made sweet or savory, so adjust the amount of sweetener to your liking.
  • Cook the grits slowly over low heat. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pot.
  • Stir the grits frequently. This will help to prevent them from clumping together.
  • Add butter, salt, and pepper to taste. These are classic seasonings for grits, but you can also add other spices or herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Serve the grits immediately. They are best when they are hot and fresh.

Dessert grits are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
