*Perfect Porridge* Serves 4 There is nothing like a tasty bowl of porridge oats to warm the tummy on these cooler mornings. I find a bowl of this keeps me going for more than half the day. It's most comforting and quite nourishing. 1 1/2 pints of whole milk (3 1/2 cups) 225g porridge oats (2 3/4 cups) 1 TBS golden syrup 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp freshly ground nutmeg pinch salt 7 fluid ounces single cream 75g sultanana raisins (1/2 cup) Brown sugar to serve and additional milk or cream Place the milk in a large non-stick saucepan. Bring to the boil and then whisk in the oats, syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, raisins and salt. Reduce to a slow simmer and then cook, stirring from time to time, for 8 to 10 minutes, until cooked. Whisk in the 7 ounces of cream and heat gently. Spoon into warm bowls, sprinkle with brown sugar and pass the milk! |
