ABM     BOILED GRITS
Serves 4-6
 
INGREDIENTS
5      cups water
1      teaspoon salt
1      cup regular white hominy grits, not the quick-cooking variety
2      Tablespoon butter, softened

INSTRUCTIONS
In a heavy 1 1/2 to 2 quart saucepan, bring the water and salt to a boil over high heat. Pour in the hominy grits slowly enough so that the boiling continues at a rapid rate. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon to keep the mixture smooth. Reduce the heat to low and, stirring occasionally, simmer the grits tightly covered for 30 minutes. Stir in the butter and mound the grits in a heated bowl. Serve at once with more butter, salt and black pepper to taste.
