Cooking Instructions

1. Bring the water and milk to a boil in the top of a double boiler, then stir in the hominy and add a dash of salt. Cook on top of the double boiler, stirring constantly, until the grits thicken, about five minutes. (If not using a double boiler, cook in a saucepan over very low heat for about the same amount of time.)

 

2. Cover, and cook until the grits are tender about 1 hour. (If the grits get too thick, just add water to thin them.)

 

Stir in the butter and pecans. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Serve hot.
