Oatmeal with milk

Pour the oatmeal into a thick-bottomed saucepan and stir. This type of cookware will heat up evenly and will not allow your porridge to burn to the bottom. Pour 2 cups of fresh boiling water over the oatmeal and leave it covered for 20 minutes. It may take more or less time to swell, the main thing is for the water to be absorbed. This step is very important so that the porridge cooks faster, is tender and airy.

Our flakes have absorbed all the water, swelled well and increased in size. Now we can begin actively preparing a healthy breakfast.

Add 2 cups of fresh milk to the pan, cover with a lid and put it on the fire a little above medium until it boils. Do not miss the moment of the first boil, otherwise the milk may run away from the pan! It is very important to constantly stir the oatmeal with a silicone or any other spatula. This way your porridge will not stick to the bottom, and all the ingredients will heat up evenly.

Once the milk has boiled, reduce the heat to low. Add a piece of butter, a tablespoon of sugar and a pinch of salt. If you like your porridge sweeter or vice versa, adjust the amount of sugar to taste. And don't forget to stir the oatmeal constantly so that it doesn't turn into lumps and stick to the bottom of the pan.

Bring the oatmeal with milk and butter to full readiness, stirring occasionally. As we wrote above, it can be cooked in different times. It all depends on the flakes you have chosen. Usually the manufacturer writes the cooking time on the package - 30, 25, 15 or 5 minutes. In any case, you can taste it - if the flakes are tender and soft, melt in your mouth - then your breakfast is ready! But if you want maximum benefit, take a product with a long cooking time - from 25 minutes.

Our oatmeal with milk and sugar is ready! You can decorate it with fruits, berries or sweet sauce if you wish. It turned out tender, creamy and very tasty. This is the perfect breakfast for a productive day and a good mood!
Enjoy your meal!
