Perfect Corn Grits | An Old Fashioned Recipe

I learned this old-fashioned recipe recently. I wish I had known it all my life!
By the way, don't skip the most important step when it comes to making home-ground "real" grits.
Ingredients:
1 cup Yellow Grits (Old Fashioned or Original)
1 cup Sweet Corn or canned whole kernel corn
2 cups Chicken Broth
1-½ cup Heavy Cream
¼ stick Butter (I said 1/4 cup in the video, sorry)
Directions:
1. Cook 1 cup of drained canned whole kernel corn in butter in a cast-iron skillet until slightly browned.
2. In a small 2-quart pot bring chicken broth to a boil.
3. Add heavy cream and return to a boil.
4. Slowly whisk in the grits and then the corn.
5. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring often.
6. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Thanks for stoppin' by!

This is awesome! Thank you so much for sharing! I grind my own cornmeal too and I'm and also a fellow grits fanatic. Unfortunately I wasn't exactly sure how to prepare them from my grinds, so I usually just run them back through the grinder after sifting from the meal. I'm definitely going to save some now and try this. This is one of the many reasons I immediately subscribed after watching your videos. You do a lot of things the same way my grandparents used to and that knowledge is hard to find these days. Many of the self-proclaimed "Homestead" channels don't even know this stuff. You are an absolute gem and a great example of why some of the best knowledge isn't always found in books.

Thanks so much, D_Zanzer! You are too kind. My parents knew everything about growing food and cooking everything from scratch. I often wish I has listened to them more than I did. And welcome to the channel!

For me Grits are not done until it can hold a spoon upright for 2 -4 seconds and too the tooth tender. I add butter and shredded mild cheddar cheese to mine with some crispy fresh bacon bits on top.

They looked soo creamy and delicious! Even if I don't make the Grits, I will at least brown some canned Corn, in my cast iron skillet. You have inspired me once again, Anne! Have a great day! 🌽💖

Thanks, Leanne! And you too!

Thank you for sharing! I will have to try with store bought.

[@jellygrandma1945]

It will be good with store bought too. And most of us don't have access to home grown and freshly ground. I'm just lucky to have gotten these.

When I went to a local farm today, the farmer had corn he'd ground all packaged up. It's beautiful and I needed to know how to prepare the grits. Thank you for this recipe.

[@PreservingSweetness]

That is awesome! And you're welcome

Thank you for sharing how to make this. I didn’t know about the pre-wash step! I’ll be using non GMO organic Dent Corn from Azure Standard. Fingers crossed. Love your kind n soft way of explaining things. Thank you. New subbie ❤
