Recipe Introduction
These are so easy and simple and they make great grits. They also make great grits cakes. I wanted a base to serve beef bourgignon on. What I did was to make the grits, as directed and then I spread them in a sheet pan. I cooled them in the fridge and cut them into diamond shapes. I heated them on a griddle to get the grill marks and then refrigerated them until just before I served them. I just nuked them in the microwave until hot. They heated up beautifully with no loss of texture or flavor.
List of Ingredients

3 1/2 c. water

pinch cayenne pepper or pepper sauce, to taste
