To follow on from the fabulous pancakes that are a weekend breakfast staple in our house, now that the weather’s getting colder another option finds its way into my kitchen – steaming bowls of lovely, creamy porridge.
The method for perfect porridge is super easy, and the results are so much better than the packets of instant porridge you can buy in the supermarkets. For a wonderful, autumn / winter breakfast, you’ll need:
- 1 cup of rolled porridge oats
- 1 cup of milk
- 2 cups of boiling water
Combine the oats, milk and boiling water in a medium-sized saucepan over a medium heat; bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally to ensure that it doesn’t boil over. It will take approximately 10mins for the oats to cook and for the porridge to form.
The best ways to enjoy this perfect porridge (in our house, anyway) is either with a couple of spoonfuls of brown sugar & a dash of milk, or with a spoonful of honey. So good!
Serves – 2
Cooking time – approx. 10mins
For some other recipes using oats, the BBC Food website has some good ideas. And I’ll have to post my recipe for Anzac biscuits here too. They’re fabulous!
