Porridge

Sunday morning porridge how Daddy makes it:

Ingredients:

for each person add the following quantities:

1 oz medium oatmeal
7 fl oz water
1/3 teaspoon salt

1. Put the oatmeal and water in a non-stick pan. Soak overnight.
2. Add the salt.
3. Bring to the boil gently and cook for 5 minutes or so.
4. Serve hot in warm bowls. Serve a jug of cold milk separately, and a selection of brown sugar, maple syrup, black treacle etc.
   

For porridge how Mummy likes it, stir a dessertspoon of plain yogurt into your bowl of porridge, and drizzle ginger syrup over. Have a small cup of cold milk alongside, into which you dip your every spoonful of hot porridge. This keeps the milk from getting hot by contact with the hot porridge.
