- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey, plus more for serving
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil over high heat.

- Remove from heat and stir in butter and honey until melted and combined.

Tips
- For creamier grits, use half milk and half water.
- Stir often to prevent lumps and sticking.
