Haygood Mill Grits

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Haygood Mill Stone-Ground Grits

  • 1 cup cold water

  • 2 ½ cups boiling water

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup milk or cream

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Pour 1 cup of grits into a large bowl and cover with cold water.

  2. Skim or pour off the chaff as it floats to the surface. Repeat.

  3. Bring 2 1/2 cups of water to a boil in a medium-size saucepan.

  4. Add 1 teaspoon salt and slowly stir in the grits. Cook at a simmer, stirring frequently, until the grits are done — they should be quite thick and creamy — about 20 minutes.

  5. Add milk, cream, or half and half for consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste.
