To ask how you make your porridge oats?

[MrsFoxPlus4]

My grandad used to make me the best porridge growing up.

I can never get it creamy enough.

Help me out 😭

Following as i too would like to know this.

to each cup of oats add one cup water and one cup milk in a pan, bring to the boil and immedietly turn down to simmer stirring frequently till the porridge thickens and tastes cooked, about 5-10 minutes, then into bowls and add what you like on yours, wether its fruit, honey, sugar and cold milk

I use milk for porridge, no water.

I find soaking the oats in the milk overnight before cooking makes the nicest, creamiest porridge.

REALLY milky with lots of sugar in the microwave. Porridge that's more than a tiny bit thick makes me feel sick for some reason, I don't know why.

Full fat milk, no water.

Definitely no water. Full fat milk makes it very creamy, but semi-skimmed is creamy enough for me!

I can't because you are BU for eating porridge oats, they are the good of the devil!

"Lighthearted"

*good = food!!!! FFS

No water just milk. Also depends on which oats you buy. One is creamier than the other- but I can't remember which at the moment....

Use traditional oats, not quick oats. I soak mine in water for 30+ minutes first, then add full/whole milk. It'd definitely be creamier if you had just milk and no water, but that'd be a dairy overload, especially if you have tea/coffee with it!

One cup oats, one cup water, one cup milk. Heat gently til it thickens and rises up the sides of the pan. Two spoons sugar and a generous handful of sultanas or dried cranberries. I use a shallow ramekin in place of a cup which is enough for 1 person.

Scotts porridge oats with full fat milk and brown sugar. It's the nectar of the Gods. Sadly not for the diabetic amongst us - mine is now made with mainly water and a splash of soya milk, then a heaped spoon of plain Skyr yogurt stirred through. It's an acquired taste

2 parts full fat milk, 1 part oats. Then I add a bit of cream at the end if I have any in.

Exactly as issey says, with half whole milk and half water. I used to make it with all milk but it’s weirdly much tastier and creamier with half and half. And always stir clockwise with a spurtle.

I always used to make it on the hob but after getting fed up of washing the pan afterwards I now use a microwave method that I saw on here:

50g of porridge oats
220g of milk (or more if you prefer it less thick)

Microwave for 1.5 mins, stir and then microwave again for another 1.5 mins

In the microwave. Half cup of oats, one cup of milk. Full power for 2mins 30secs. Remember your microwave may be faster/ slower.

And a pinch of salt when cooking - really enhances the flavour.

Scott’s oats. If it hasn’t got a fella In a kilt on the front it can get to fuck.
I make mine with one cup oats, one cup water, one cup oat milk.
Oh yes, oat milk.

Will run through these suggestions until I find the perfect porridge. Thanks everyone ❤️

Water and salt. Not really, but that's how my dad used to make it. Bleurgh... Having said that, a little pinch of salt in sweet porridge tastes amazing.

It’s scotsoats we eat here! We are Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I make it in a pan, one cup of oats to two cups of milk, one of water. I use full fat milk. I used to do it in the microwave but it didn't cook properly imo and it is just as quick doing on the hob but I need a milk pan

You need to use full fat milk and add a good slurp of evaporated milk.

I make it the same way as issey with equal proportions of oats, milk and water.

Make sure you use whole rolled oats, not quick oats

Oatmeal of Alford is the best. Soak overnight in water, add more water and a pinch of salt. Stir with a spurtle, holding the bumpy end in your hand otherwise it's a pain to wash up. You can substitute the add more water and use half milk ( semi skimmed) half water.
My Dad would be turning in his grave seeing his daughter cook porridge with milk.
