Cornbread Grits

Ingredients

1 cup Yellow cornmeal (do NOT use quick grits)
2 cup Almond milk, unsweetened
2 cup Water
1 Tbsp. Unsalted butter
1 Tbsp. Honey
1 Tbsp Light brown sugar
1/8 tsp. Salt

Instructions

Toast cornmeal in a medium-sized pot over medium heat, stirring frequently so it does not burn. Cook until golden brown and fragrant (about 2-3 minutes). Set aside in a small bowl.

In the same medium pot, bring almond milk and water to a rolling boil.

Add toasted cornmeal to boiling water/milk, whisking constantly to avoid burning and clumping. Reduce heat to low, and cook grits until creamy and thick, about 15-20 minutes.

Take grits off the heat, and add in butter, honey, light brown sugar, and salt. Mix to combine.

Serve warm.
