What is the secret to good grits?
Grits absorb water, broth, and milk much better than cream, so if you like yours with whipping cream, just add a touch at the end to smooth out the texture. However, our test kitchen recommends a half-water-half-milk, or a half-chicken-broth-half-milk mixture, depending on what type of meal you’re preparing.
What do Southerners put in their grits?
Grits are an easy stove top to table meal that consists simply of dried corn (either yellow or white) that’s been crushed into a fine or coarse meal. The granules are then paired with either hot water or milk and cooked on the stove until they’re a thick, creamy consistency (similar to that of porridge).
Are grits Hominy?
Grits are a porridge made from boiled cornmeal. Hominy grits are a type of grits made from hominy – corn that has been treated with an alkali in a process called nixtamalization, with the pericarp (ovary wall) removed. Grits are often served with other flavorings as a breakfast dish.

Should grits be cooked covered or uncovered?
Cooking Grits for Yourself or a Crowd
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you want the grits to cook longer and be more creamy, add a little more water, and return to the heat and simmer, stirring, uncovered, until done.
How do you make grits taste better?
