22 cakes
ingredients
- 2 1⁄2 cups milk
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 1⁄4 cups quick-cooking grits
- 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 2⁄3 cup mascarpone cheese

directions
- Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
- In a big saucepan, bring the milk, half-and-half, butter, and salt to a boil.
- Decrease heat to medium and gradually whisk in grits.
- Whisk constantly until cooked and thickened (follow package directions for cooking time, which will depend on the type of grits you use).
- Whisk in the parmesan, mascarpone, and pepper until well blended.
- Pour the grits into the prepared pan and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
- Use a biscuit cutter to cut the grits into shapes about 2 inches in diameter (or cut the grits into squares or triangles to avoid scraps).

- When the skillet it hot, cook the cakes in batches, leaving a little space between each one in the pan.
- Fry the cakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and crisp.
- Serve immediately.
