I found this recipe on the web some time ago. I have prepared the dish several times. It is just like the Edisto Grits that come with the Edisto Grits and Shrimp on the menu of a popular South Carolina restaurant.
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup hominy grits
freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
DIRECTIONS:
Bring the water and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Whisk in the grits and continue to whisk for 1 minute. When the mixture comes to a boil again, turn the heat to low. Stir frequently, cook for 10 to 15 minutes.
Remove the grits from the heat and add pepper, butter and cheese; mix well. Stir until the butter and cheese are melted.

Here's another, different version (from http://community.southernliving.com/arch...
