Buttered Grits, Cooked

Buttered Grits, Cooked

EverydayCooked

Buttered Grits, Cooked is a traditional Southern U.S. dish made from coarsely ground hominy (alkali-treated corn), creating a creamy, porridge-like texture when simmered. The addition of butter enhances richness while contributing significant saturated fat, making this preparation higher in calories than plain grits. As a naturally gluten-free grain dish, it serves as a carbohydrate-dense energy source, though dairy-sensitive individuals should note the butter content.
