    In Brazil, we make a recipe called "polenta" or "angú", based on corn flour, but it is totally different from that.

    Here we usually fry some stremmed garlic cloves and then add only water and salt to the pot and let this to boil. Next, we dissolve some of the corn flour in water at room temperature and add this mixture in the boiling water, stirring so as not to lump. We let it cook for a few minutes until it get thick and smooth. That's it.

    Thanks for the information! I'm Canadian and have heard of grits all my life on movies and TV but it only just starting to be sold here and I haven't known how to prepare it. I will have to substitute for the dairy, but thanks for the measurements as I had nothing in my Canadian cookbooks and my older American cookbooks assume that everyone knows how
    Cheers!👍😃

    I know this is a pretty old video but I've just got my hands on cornmeal (until recently it wasn't even available in my country lol; it's still rather unpopular) and I made polenta from your recipe. It was super easy and really delicious! A bit sweet from the corn, pleasantly salty, and really smooth! Thank you for the recipe!

    Okay, just to be clear grits is a southern thing not American. Yes, in the last 20 years they have gained popularity across the US but are not a staple. And there are a couple types of grits other than corn. Hominy is another kind. And also they are made several ways depending on the meal you are serving. Diner grits are not soupy but are served like a rice side dish. Pennsylvania is about as far north you will see them regularly on a menu.

    Are grits like semolina? We don't have this in the uk. The Scots like to eat porridge with salt, whilst others prefer theirs with sugar. I can't imagine eating something soft milky and salty with our eggs & bacon breakfast.

    I have never tried grits. In UK it's not very popular at all. Infact I've never heard of them. It's also hard to find ground-corn meal but I can find Polenta so I think i will use that and try your recipe. I love mashed potatoes so I can imagine what this is like and i think im going to love it IF.. I can make it right.
