The classic Scottish recipe to make porridge oats.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 12 oz water
  • ½ tsp sea salt I like Maldon
  • ⅓ c steel cut oatmeal (pinhead) I like Hamlyn's
  • 2 Tbsp half and half (optionsl: or milk or cream)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Put the water, salt and oatmeal into a pot and bring to a boil.
  • Simmer for about 20-25 minutes (stirring often), or until the texture of the oats are to your liking. (Reduce cooking time if you soaked the oats overnight.) Add salt if needed.
  • Serve immediately, and add milk, and or cream, or whatever toppings or additions you prefer. 

Notes

NOTE: you can soak steel cut oats overnight for quicker cooking time the next morning.
