[finyuk2005]

salt and milk... just as nature intended

sometimes some apple, cinnamon and honey or maple syrup... if im feeling fancy!

 

[pawsnizzy]

I know why people use salt, but all I get is salty porridge

 

[Guineafowl]

Salt and milk - soak overnight. Heat up next morning but try not to stir too much as it makes it gloopy.

Then more cold milk and treacle.

Wash bowl immediately after use or you’ll need a grit blaster to clean it.

 

[Rannsachair]

Normally just salt and milk, though on occasion sliced banana or for a treat: raspberries or bramble jelly and double cream.

 

[OJCar]

Oatmeal, milk & water.
Served with a spoonful of golden syrup on top.

 

[Eric the chicken]

10 grams bran
40 grams oats
350 grams milk
handfull sultanas
3 minutes microwave, stir, 3 more minutes allow to stand for 1 minute, eat whilst watching 'The Adventures of Paddington' on channel 5
( Paddington is optional)

 

[DanZac]

50g porridge oats.
5 teaspoons powdered milk.

Stick it in a flask with some boiling water when I get up in the morning.

leave to stand for a couple of hours in the flask.

At brew time add a spoonful of jam or chocolate spread or whatever else is knocking around, and a chopped banana and give it a stir.

Delicious hot porridge with no work, to be eaten wherever I happen to be.

Have that pretty much every day at morning brew time - Yummy.

'Full Fat' Milk (apologies to the Scots and Northumbrians*)
Salted butter - to make up for the fat removed from supermarket 'Full Fat' milk.

* Nana would be appalled at an adult using milk instead of water. Milk was for children only.

 

[jsf55]

Can't do milk, which i was grateful too find out ! 2 scoop (about a table spoon) 3 scoops of water and a dab of salt, leave sit whilst i have my first cuppa, heat and stir and add a good squirt of Rowse light and mild honey

Just water and salt is the ‘authentic’ way, and it would set, then the wifey would score it and put it in a drawer, for the husband to break a piece off on the way to work.

Trouble is, porridge with just salt and water is pretty revolting. I guess we’re just spoilt.

 

[Robotstar5]

Made with milk then I sprinkle some sugar on once it's in the bowl, Mrs Robo puts golden syrup on hers.

 

[striker]

50g of porridge
150g milk
Two minutes in the microwave, then,
Half hand full walnut pieces
Half hand full of raisins
One circular lap of the bowl of squeezy golden syrup.

Have it every morning before I go cycling!

 

[Stupoty]

I like to add a tea spoon of peanut butter , watch out though a tea spoon and a half makes it way to rich.

The "porrige" oats that you buy has been dried & to me it's pretty bland, I buy 10kg of oat groats at a time, I have a schnitzer German hand rolling mill, & I mill my own oats enough for a week & store it in the fridge in a plaggy tub it's oily & tastes excellent compared with stuff you buy ready milled 8 minutes on the rayburn full cream milk & Blueberrys from our garden & that's it, bought the mill 17 years ago & been doing it ever since.

 

[fizzy]

Just 50:50 water and milk. Leave stand overnight - microwave in the morning - sprinkle of sugar on top. Box of Quaker or Scots oats. Sometime a hint of cinnamon.
Nicest porridge I have tasted was Glan Gwilli hospital. Really creamy. Just as well - I was stuck in there long enough.

 

[MetalMonkey]

Goldilocks....

 

[JEZGUZ]

Made with water, no milk. Teaspoon of sugar and 3-4 dashes of Angostura bitters, or a quick splash of Maple Syrup, proper stuff, not the crap full of corn syrup. Sometimes fruit if I've gone mad and bought Blueberries or similar.

 

[graffian]

Put it in a dish.
pour water on it.
stick in microwave for 1:50.
eat.

Mention porridge to my dad and he will go on about scouts.
He put milk, butter, honey and all sorts in it. Said it was by far the
best porridge any of them made.
And he was the only one who didn't get his porridge badge;-)

I used to like a big blob of butter on mine... But give it up.
