Quick Fix: Pre Thanksgiving Jazz Brunch?

Feeling like an authentic New Orleans Jazz Brunch? Tune into www.wwoz.org streaming live. Make yourself some sunny side eggs and add these grit cakes with a  MiddleBar Bloody Mary and you're sure to hit some high notes!

1 cup water
1/4 cup quick grits
1 oz Southern Comfort
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch salt
1 pinch sugar (optional)

Bring water and oil to boil.  Add grits and soco stir for 4 minutes uncovered. Stir the entire time to avoid clumping.  Oil 1/2 " ramekins and add grits. Refrigerate for 30 mins. Oil a skillet and when scalding hot add grit cakes.  Fry on high for 2 mins per side and serve. (Makes 1 serving. Double, triple, and quadruple as needed)

Good Mornin' Ya'll!
