1 cup yellow stone ground grits(never quick grits)
4 cups water
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp kosher or sea salt
2 tbl Smoked Canola Oil
Bring water to rapid boil. Add canola oil, salt & soda. Pour grits into water & immediately turn heat to low. Stir until smooth. Cover and cook for 30 minutes. Stir from time to time and if too thick, thin with cold water.
Grits can be topped with sharp cheese, green onions, crisp bacon or sauted shrimp. Absolutely the best plate warmer ever!
SOUTHERN BLESSING BEFORE EATING GRITS
May the lord bless these grits,
May no Yankee ever get the recipe,
May I eat grits every day while living,
And may I die while eating grits.
AMEN
