Simple from Scratch:
Basic Hot Cereal Recipe:
3 ½ cups water
¼ tsp salt
1-2 tbsp oil or butter
1 ½ cups oatmeal

Start the water heating in a separate pot, while the oatmeal is being sautéed in the cereal pot.  Stir the roasted oatmeal for even browning, until a pleasing grain aroma greets your nose.  Take the pot off the fire, let it sit a minute or two, and then pour into the boiling or nearly boiling water.  Use hotpads!  Stir briskly, then return to low flame and continue cooking for 10-30 minutes.  If the oatmeal is burning, continue the cooking in a double boiler.  Add a little more hot water if it gets too thick.
