Sweet Breakfast Grits

I've used this recipe in my Intro to Foods & Nutrition class for years. Somehow I never yet got it onto my blog...until now:

Ingredients
2 C water
1¼ C milk
2 T honey
1 tsp salt
1 C quick cooking grits (not instant)
¼ C butter

Directions

In large pot, bring water, milk, honey, and salt to boil.

Slowly add grits to boiling mixture, stirring constantly so grits don’t clump.

Return pot to boiling again. Reduce temperature to medium-low; cover with a lid.

Cook for approximately 30 minutes, stirring about every 5 minutes. Add more water if needed; grits should be thick, but creamy, not lumpy.

Stir in butter.

Serve topped with a little additional butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, raisins, fruit, granola…
