Creamy sweet corn grits are smooth, comforting, and gently sweet, made with stone-ground grits simmered in milk and broth, then finished with butter and tender corn kernels for a cozy, satisfying dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup stone-ground grits
  • 1 cup fresh sweet corn kernels
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add the whole milk and vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
  3. Slowly whisk in the stone-ground grits, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
  4. Add the sweet corn kernels, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine.
  5. Reduce heat to low and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring often, until thick and creamy.
  6. Stir in the unsalted butter until fully melted and smooth.
  7. Remove from heat, let rest for a few minutes, then serve warm.

Notes
