Yes, thank you for posting this! The memory of it had died out in my family until I saw this recipe. We had them for breakfast this morning!

My grandmother always prepared grits this way. She served them at breakfast with warm maple syrup. They were yummy. I learned how to cook from her and this has always been a favorite of mine. I need to make it more often. This is the best grits recipe. Thanks for posting.
