Add 3 cups of water to a heavy-bottomed pot and turn the heat on.

Stir in 1 cup of stone ground grits into the water.

Use a tea strainer to skim off any floating particles in the pot.

Stir the grits until the mixture reaches a boil.

Cook the grits uncovered, stirring every 3 to 5 minutes, ensuring they bubble slowly.

Cook the grits for anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour until they are soft.

If the grits thicken before they are soft, add a little liquid to thin them out.

When the grits are soft, add 1 tablespoon of butter and mix well.
