Cooking yellow flaking grits is easy. The grits are made by degerminating yellow corn. The kernels are then ground into small, flaky grits. The making of this Southern staple, though, must be done carefully in order to avoid lumps and tiny balls forming in the mixture. Add this to my Recipe Box.

  • Butter
  • 1 cup yellow flaking grits
  • 2-qt. sauce pan
