Add 1 tablespoons of the butter.
7
Return the pork chops to the skillet and cook until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
8
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups water to a boil.

Whisk in the grits and cook on low heat until thickened. Whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/8 teaspoons nutmeg and pepper, and the cream.
