Instructions: Bring water to boil and add salt.

Add grits, 1/4 cup at a time, and stir constantly. When all the grits have been added, reduce heat and simmer covered for approximately 30-40 minutes, stirring grits occasionally to prevent sticking.

When all the water has been absorbed and the grits are done, add the sugar and butter and stir.

Serve the grits in a bowl, adding freshly ground pepper to taste and additional salt and butter if desired.

Serves 4
