Boiled Grits

To serve 4 to 6

5 cups water
1 teaspoon salt

1 cup regular white hominy grits, not the quick-cooking variety
1 tablespoon butter, softened

In a heavy 1 1/2- to 2-quart saucepan, bring the water and salt to a boil over high heat. Pour in the hominy grits slowly enough so that the boiling continues at a rapid rate. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon to keep the mixture smooth.

Reduce the heat to low and, stirring occasionally; simmer the grits tightly covered for 30 minutes. Stir in the butter and mound the grits in a heated bowl. Serve at once with more butter, salt and black pepper to taste.
