Hominy Grits Soufflé
Active time: 40 min Start to finish: 1 1/2 hr
When Craig Claiborne accepted an invitation to a hunt breakfast in Virginia, he didn't understand that riding a horse would be part of the deal. He found the experience hair-raising but furnished us with a delightful account of that weekend — along with this fluffy rendition of the South's beloved grits. It makes a good side dish to almost any meat — especially ham, of course.
Cooks' note:
• You can use a double boiler to cook grits, but we think it's easier to stir them in a metal bowl as they thicken.
