a casserole of grits _hsc_

Bring the water and salt to a boil, add the grits, and simmer, stirring constantly, over medium heat until the grits taste done and are thick and perfectly smooth, about 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. When the grits are done, add 4 tablespoons of the butter, the eggs, salt, and cayenne. Stir well. Pour the mixture into a buttered shallow casserole, and dot with the remaining butter. Bake until the grits are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
