STONE GROUND WATER POWERED GRIST MILL GRITS

INGREDIENTS:

2/3 cup stone ground grits                         1/2 teaspoon salt - to taste
2 tablespoons butter or margarine        2 1/2 cups water

Place water in a 3 quart saucepan with salt and let water come to a rolling boil.  Add grits and butter and cook for about 5 to 8 minutes depending on how thick you like them.  Keep lid on pot for the first 4 minutes and reduce heat to medium-low, then partly open lid to allow steam to escape until the right consistency is desired.   Turn heat off and close lid until ready to serve.

YIELD: 4 to 6 servings
