Can you make grits in advance?

Ok, before I share the flying biscuit grits recipe with you, let me clarify a little something.

Grits are technically what’s left of whole corn after it has been ground into meal, and water is boiled with salt and pepper.

Some people refer to them as “old-fashioned” grits or white grits, but they’re really just corn flour that’s been treated in a slightly different way than regular flour (which is why they come out differently).

In general, though, I would say that yes, you can make grits in advance and reheat them later.

What is the secret to great grits?

Now I am going to share one secret with you, ssshh! Don’t share. Do you know what grits are good for? Oh, don’t tell me you’ve never heard of flying biscuit grits.

Yes, flying biscuit grits can be incredibly delicious and satisfying when paired with a hearty breakfast such as eggs or bacon.

They’re also perfect for snacks in between meals, especially if you have time to spare.

But what makes grits so special? That’s the low heat and slow water cooking process that yields the perfect texture.

When you heat them in low fire or water, the starch granules in grits swell and burst, creating a creamy texture.

Slowly simmering grits in water also reduce the intensity of their flavor, which is why they can be used as a base for sauces or other dishes.

They are, in short, versatile and delicious grains that should not be underestimated.

I am done with my today’s knowledge session. Let’s now move on to the flying biscuit secret grits recipe.
