I used to cook it with salt(my step-Dad is Scottish & they add salt), water & milk in the microwave, but cut out the salt when DS started eating porridge (I added it to my serve). DS has just milk, I used to have brown sugar & milk, but since being pg I don't want the sugar any more. THis morning I added a handful of dried fruit & it was yum!
I use rolled oats - don't like the texture of instant.
I use rolled oats not instant and I cook it with water and milk and a pinch of salt.
Once it's in the bowl I add milk then dribble golden syrup over it. Yummy!!!
If there's no golden syrup I'll settle for brown sugar but it's a poor substitute.
Ummm I love the start of the cold weather cause I can buy oats for another winter season of breakfasts!
Always rolled oats here. Sometimes I soak them overnight but doesn't really matter. I cook it with water and sultanas. Then just as it looks cooked I add a bit of cold milk to make it creamy. Like Sambo I like mine thick so I let it rest for a few minutes then dish it out with a dolop of honey, I used to use brown sugar but love honey on it now, with cold milk.
Sometimes I add some sliced overripe bananas just before serving so they are warm but not mashed. Also sometimes some ground cinnamon.
I think I might try a couple of ways some of you have yours. They sound so yum!!!
We have rolled oats here. The soaking overnight sounds good so I might try that first.
I really did wonder if many people did put margarine in their porriage. I always ask DP why he adds it since he's had it without it before and he didn't say it tasted any different. Lol.
