Reviews
I followed the recipe exactly, and ended up with grits soup. I think the one and a half cups milk should’ve been 1/2 cup.
I’m going to bake it for another 30 minutes to see if it will set .
This was a very easy recipe and a real hit. I forgot to add the cayenne and the paprika and it was still great!
I made this for a wedding brunch and it was a huge hit. Very easy and super rich.
This was really easy and creamy and even people who don’t normally like grits said this was really good. Next time I would add more cayenne.
