The making of porridge is going to depend on how someone likes to eat their porridge. Personally I like to eat porridge which is fairly solid and is not that close to what most people would call porridge.



The usual ingredients for porridge I'd use are:



  • 55g rolled whole porridge oats (eg Jordan's Organic whole rolled oats)

  • 1 tbsp mixed spice

  • 20g sultanas

  • 300ml semi-skimmed milk



Mix the porridge oats and mixed spice in the bowl you're going to eat the porridge from. Mix in the sultanas - if you mix the porrdge oats and sultanas first you'll end up with quite a bit of mixed spice sticking to the sultanas. Mix in the milk. Put in the microwave on high for 4 minutes. Leave for at least 15 minutes to cool down and for the oats to absorb the milk. Eat.




Strangely enough I tend to get up, start the above cooking and only then go and get washed, dressed, etc so that I make best use of time in the mornings.
