Step 10
Meanwhile make grits. To make grits, bring water, milk, and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan.
Step 11
Gradually whisk in grits so that they do not clump. Turn heat to low and cook according to package directions (probably a good 45 minutes for stone-ground or shorter for quick grits.) Stir frequently to prevent the grits from scorching on the bottom of the pan. If grits are getting too thick, you can add more water.

Once done, turn heat off and stir in butter, cheeses, and white pepper. Keep warm.
