What is the secret to a really good porridge consistency?
Let me share my precious porridge advices with all my friends on THE DOOR
1. get some quality oats. Not the Woollies own brand.
2. grind the oats into a fine powder (see the red container). I use my coffee grinder to do this since I have never got around to acquiring a food processor. If you do this then your porridge will taste like yummy ReadyBrek and give you radioactive warmth in winter
3. Put 3 heaped table spoons of oats in a bowl
4. Add half a teaspoon of salt
3. Add a long squirt of maple syrup or ordinary syrup
2. cover the oats generously with milk. Too little milk will make the porridge thick and gooey and solid so drown them in milk. Perfect porridge should be only slightly thicker than soup
1. Microwave for 3 minutes and 45 seconds
Et Viola....
Perfectly runny and readybrekky porridge for a winters night
Perfectly runny porridge is better than thick and gooey as it can also be poured over your dog or your wife if they are misbehaving and need brought to heel.
Here endeth the perfect porridge parable for today.
