Method
Cook
- Combine oats, milk, water and salt in a small pan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring from the start so the oats do not catch.
- Cook 5–8 minutes, stirring often, until thick and creamy and the oats are soft.
- Rest 1 minute off the heat. Stir in butter if using. Loosen with a splash of milk if too thick, and serve immediately.
Serving
Serve hot with fruit, honey-style sweetener, or a knob of butter.
Storage
Best fresh. Reheat leftovers with extra milk, stirring, until hot.
