Grits

• 2  cup  water
• 1 1/4  cup  milk
• 1  teaspoon  salt
• 1  cup  Quacker Grits, quick cooking, not instant
• 1/2  cup  butter

In a small pot, bring water, milk, and salt to a boil. Slowly stir grits into boiling mixture. Stir continuously and thoroughly until grits are well mixed. Let the pot return to a boil, cover pot with a lid, lower the temperature, and cook for approximately 30 minutes stirring occasionally. Add more water if necessary.

Grits are done when they have the consistency of smooth cream of wheat.

Serve with butter, fruit, or savory with a meal.
