PANCAKES OR WAFFLES

BASIC BOILED GRITS

PANCAKES OR PANCAKES:::::: Beat the grits with the egg yolk until smooth; then stir in the buttermilk and butter. Or place all these ingredients in a food processor and run until smooth. Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt together. Stir the flour mixture into the batter. (This recipe may be prepared in advance up to this point. Cover and refrigerate until ready to cook.) Beat the egg whites to soft peaks and gently fold them into the batter. FOR PANCAKES: heat a griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly butter, if necessary. Drop the batter by the tablespoonful into the griddle and cook until bubbles begin to break the surface, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining batter. FOR WAFFLES: preheat a waffle iron. If it is not nonstick, butter lightly. For each waffle, cook unitl the waffle is crisp and golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.

BASIC BOILED GRITS: Pour the grits into the large bowl and cover with cold water. Skim of the chaff as it floats to surface. Sitr the grits about and skim again again until all the chaff has been removed.

Drain the grits in a sieve. Bring 4 cups water to a boil in medium-sized saucepan. Add the salt and slowly stir in the grits.

Cook at a simmer, stirring frequently, until the grits are done--about 40 minutes. Remove the grits from the heat and stir in the butter. Source: Good Old Grits Cookbook by Bill Neal and David Perry. Brought to you and yours via Nancy O'Brion and her Meal-Master.
