Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, bring the water or chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Once it boils, slowly whisk in the grits to prevent lumps. Reduce the heat and let them simmer on low for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until they’re creamy and tender. I love using stone-ground grits for that perfect texture!
