    For the Grits
  • 2 cups raw Geechie Boy white grits
  • Water to cover
  • Corn stock (recipe follows)
  • ½ pound butter
  • Salt and pepper
  • For the Corn Stock
  • 4 cups heavy whipping cream

  1. Place grits in a container, submerge in cold water, and soak for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Strain and slowly add to hot corn stock, whisking constantly until incorporated.
  3. Continue to simmer, whisking periodically to prevent clumping or sticking to bottom, until grits have absorbed most of the stock and are tender.
  4. Remove pot from heat and whisk in butter and season with salt and cracked pepper.
