How do you make Porridge?

Got some of those Instant Porridge sachets in the cupboard, but I've lost the detailed instructions Mum pinned on the Fridge for how to make it!

 

Can anyone tell me how to make Porridge, there's only so much Weetabix even I can eat every morning!

i prefer the soft option milk and sugar unless your Scottish then its water and salt

 

my way is twice the milk to oats add sugar to taste

If you microwave them you need to add a good half pint of milk and microwave on full for about 2 mins, stir well then about 2 more mins, it needs covering or it will boil over

Cover the oats so you have a good few CM's of milk over the top of em... micowave 2 - 3 mins and then about 10 spoon fulls of suger

You can microwave it Rich. Just for a minute or so. Leave it to cool for 1 minute. If the result is a bit sticky, add a bit more cool milk.

 

You then get a mixture of hot porridge and cool milk on your tongue as you spoon it in. A delicious contrast.

Thanks Moonbird.

 

Also, I doubt I'd use quite so much sugar on them, partly for the fact that I don't take sugar in my tea or coffee so I don't really have it, I just buy sweeteners for when I have company that does have sugar in their tea or coffee.
