Old Fashioned Porridge

The weather is getting colder and it is time to make porridge again. I love my porridge the way Mum used to make it. Old fashioned oats soaked overnight and cooked with salt.
Yum Yum.
But because it is a pain to make each day like that for just one..me, I make enough for 4 and dish it up into bowls. Eat one and cover and pop the others in the fridge. A minute in the microwave next day and its just like new. With 2 teaspoons psyllium husks and 2 prunes, cos I am getting old. Sigh. And 1 teaspoon of brown sugar and milk. Yum Yum. My dietician says I can only have 1/2 cup porridge, so I use a dessert bowl. It looks better and it is all about tricking your brain.

And here is the recipe.

1 cup oats. The big ones not the minute ones. Old fashioned oats.
3 cups water

1/2 teaspoon cooking salt.

Put in a saucepan the night before, cover and leave till morning.

Stir then pop on a low heat till bubbling. Simmer for a few minutes.

Eat.

If no one to share with put rest in bowls for tomorrow.
