--------  ------------  --------------------------------
       2  c             Water
       2  ts            Butter
                        Salt and pepper
     1/2  c             Grits
     1/4  c             Cheddar cheese -- grated
                        Flour -- for dredging
       2  tb            Vegetable oil -- up to 4 tb

Oil a large sheet pan. In a saucepan bring water and butter, seasoned
with salt and pepper, to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and whisk in
grits. Cook, stirring constantly, 5 minutes. Remove from heat and
stir in cheese. Pour grits onto sheet pan, spreading them evenly.
Cool and cut into cakes with a 2-1/2 to 3" biscuit cutter. 

In a large preferably nonstick skillet, heat enough oil to coat
bottom of pan over medium-high heat. Dredge both sides of cakes in
flour and pan-fry about 2 minutes on each side, until golden. Drain
on paper towels and keep warm before serving. 

Yield: 8 Cakes
