Porridge

Ingredients:	Porridge oats
	Salt
	Water
	Milk and sugar to serve.

Note: Traditionally in Scotland porridge is made with water and eaten with salt and milk!

What you do:

1. Measure the water and porridge oats into the pan – 3 mugs of water and 3 large heaped spoonfuls of porridge oats, and a pinch of salt.

2. Place the pan on the heat and bring to the boil (bubbles rise rapidly to the surface) stirring all the time. Stir in a figure of 8 pattern to cover all of the bottom of the pan so that the mixture doesn’t stick. Make sure that you stir into the corners of the pan!

3. When the mixture has come to the boil turn down the heat and simmer (just the odd bubble rises to the surface) until thick.

4. Serve the porridge with milk and sugar to taste.
