To make the grits: In a medium pot over medium-high heat, combine milk, 2 cups water, butter, hot sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil; slowly whisk in grits and lower heat to a simmer. Cook until grits are very tender, about 1 1/2 hours.

Spread the hot grits evenly into a 9-inch baking pan (the grits should be about 1 inch in thickness). Cool completely and cut into 1-inch squares. Toss each square lightly with flour.

Fill a large skillet with 1/2-inch grapeseed oil and place over medium heat. You will know oil is hot enough if a drop of water splashed into the pan sizzles. Fry the grits squares until golden and crisp all over, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on a plate lined with paper towel. Serve each topped with a sliver of country ham and a dollop of mayonnaise.
