Method

Boil the water

Pour the Water into a medium saucepan and stir in the Kosher salt. Set the pan over medium-high heat and bring the water to a full boil, with steady bubbles breaking all across the surface.

Whisk in grits

Slowly rain in the Stone-Ground Corn Grits while whisking constantly so they spread out evenly instead of clumping. Once all the grits are in, lower the heat to low and let them cook at a gentle simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring every few minutes and scraping along the bottom and corners of the pan, until the grits are thick, creamy, and tender with no raw bite left.

Finish and serve

Take the pan off the heat and stir in the Unsalted butter until it melts completely and the grits look glossy and smooth. Let them sit for 2 minutes to settle into their final texture, then give them one last stir and serve hot.
