I usually boil them for about 8-10 minutes after the water comes to a rolling boil, Ms. Jean. I like mine hard boiled. The stuffing does better when they are like that.


"Grits is one of those country-boy words that is both singular and plural-like deer, elk and sheep. I think the singular is appropriate when there's a modifier that makes it clear one is talking about something specific. Like, 'Grits are good for you, but these here grits is tasty.'"~~Joe Wrabek
