How do you make your porridge ?

[dark_castle1]

I have mine made with a little salt and water, then add alittle milk when it is in the bowl.

[bitsnknots]

Don't like porridge I must admit.  I have muesli with cold milk and I add a few blueberries 'cos I loves 'em.

[wizilizi]

I love porridge, but also have to admit to mostly turning to the packets & 2 mins in the microwave

Mmmmmaple syrup 😄

[duck_a_lorange]

I do mine in the microwave - mix with water, zap for less than a minute (because it boils over) add more water and repeat, add milk last, zap again to warm it up.  All made in the cereal bowl. No sugar or salt.

I must say I only bought the flavoured packet porridge once - far too sweet for me.

(But I admit to eating plain Ready Brek out of the packet with a spoon...)

[wizilizi]

Plain porridge - not the flavoured ones - for me too

Then I put mmmmmmaple syrup on it :_|

[mandymoosie]

I make mine with whole milk.........has to be whole...........the old fashioned way, in a saucepan, loads of oats..........then in the bowl with loads of brown sugar on top.....................absolutely delish :-x

I do sometimes have the one's you just stick in the microwave, they're not bad really, but much prefer making it myself 😄

Oh! and I can't stand the chocolate ones......................yuk 😐 

[bitsnknots]

As much as I love chocolate, I don't fancy breakfast cereal with chocolate on.  It just wouldn't be right.

[captainbovine]

same as Tara, but sometimes I nuke it, sometimes I do it on the stove and stir it with my spurtle.:-)

I used to put the top of the milk on it, when we had full fat milk but we have semi skimmed now.

I love porridge, nice and thick, and I think it tastes better the next day if you make it the night before and heat it up the next morning that is.

[bitsnknots]

Shudder to think as to what a spurtle is CB.  I have the feeling that I will be sorry I asked.

😉

[dark_castle1]

books and bits, a Spurtle is a wooden spoon.

[bitsnknots]

Thanks for that -  I didn't know that.

[captainbovine]

it just looks like a stick books....but you would never think it could keep lumps out of yer porridge but it does! it's an amazing piece of kit.

[bitsnknots]

Oh that's nice CB.  I had no idea what a spurtle was until you mentioned it.

[vamo48]

One cup porridge oats, two cups water, a little salt, heat while stirring with spirtle.  Into bowl, with milk semi-skimmed if being good, otherwise full cream! and a little bit of heather honey.

[captainbovine]

you have to keep stirring constantly  but I think they make the porridge taste nicer!!!

I sent one to my epal in USA and she had no idea what it was for:^O all her friends think its such a novelty.

[captainbovine]

I've just got a sore botty for showing you a spurtle Books:|:O

[ilove2patch]

Linking to auctions.:| Pathetic isn't it?

"I sent one to my epal in USA and she had no idea what it was for:^O all her friends think its such a novelty."

The mind boggles;\

[captainbovine]

:^O the guy who does the snow clearing thought it was a joke...she had to explain what it was!!!

Maggie...yus it is, others have given me item #'s before:-(

[bitsnknots]

So sorry that you got a slap CB.  Here's some botty cream.

:-x

[peteryola]

Well come on how many of you have cooked the Prime Ministers breakfast?

I made a cup of tea for Sir Michael Hordern once... 🙂

Anyway.... porridge....  I make mine with water, add milk once cooked, no salt goes anywhere near it but I do liberally coat the top with brown sugar.
