Ingredients
- 6 cups water
- 8 ounces light cream (2 cups )
- 1 teaspoons kosher salt (said tablespoon)
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 8 ounces raw quick cooking grits (2 cups )
- 8 ounces white cheddar cheese, grated
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
How to Make
-
Step 1: Be sure to use the deepest pot you have, even when doing half the recipe. The mixture tends to boil over dramatically when the grits are added.
-
Step 2: In a saucepan, combine water, half-and-half, salt and white pepper and bring to a boil.
-
Step 3: Slowly pour grits into boiling water while whisking the entire time.
-
Step 4: (Watch out for splattering; mixture is very hot.)
-
Step 5: Reduce to low heat and continue to whisk often, until thick and completely smooth, about 10 minutes.
-
Step 6: Add cheese and stir gently until cheese melts.
-
Step 7: Whisk again to combine.
-
Step 8: Turn heat off and allow grits to rest 5 minutes.
-
Step 9: Add butter and stir until completely smooth, silky and shiny.
