OLD FASHIONED PORRIDGE
I have posted the original recipe, it is from "The Governor's Inn" in Vermont, however for my liking I cut the sweets in half. It is really good either way. In the restaurant it is served with vanilla ice cream on top and a drizzle of pure maple syrup.

OLD-FASHIONED PORRIDGE AND MOLASSES BREAD
I have had this recipe for over 40 years and it has never failed. The aroma of it baking is wonderful, and it also makes great toast. Also a great addition to have with baked brown beans. This freezes very well; I cut the loaf up before I freeze, that way I take out just the slices I need.

Steps:
- Pour boiling water over oats and shortening in a bowl. Stir until shortening melts; let stand for 20 minutes, giving it a stir once in a while.
- Meanwhile, dissolve sugar in lukewarm water. Add yeast and let stand for 10 minutes. Stir briskly with a fork.
- Stir yeast mixture into the partially cooled oat mixture with molasses and salt. Let cool to lukewarm, 5 to 10 minutes. Beat in 2 1/2 cups of flour, gradually adding remaining flour as needed.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead, 8 to 10 minutes. Shape into a smooth ball and place in a greased bowl, rolling the dough so the top is greased. Cover and let double in size, about 1 1/2 hours.

Tips:
- Use the right oats. Steel-cut oats are the best choice for porridge because they retain their texture and flavor during cooking. Rolled oats are also a good option, but they will cook more quickly and have a softer texture.
- Use water or milk. You can use either water or milk to make porridge. Water will produce a lighter, more neutral-flavored porridge, while milk will produce a richer, creamier porridge.
- Add salt. A little bit of salt helps to enhance the flavor of the porridge. You can add it to the water or milk before cooking, or sprinkle it on top of the finished porridge.
- Cook the porridge slowly. The best way to cook porridge is to simmer it gently over low heat. This will help the oats to absorb the liquid and develop their full flavor.
- Stir the porridge occasionally. Stirring the porridge will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot. You can also use a wooden spoon to break up any lumps that form.
- Serve the porridge hot. Porridge is best served hot, with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, and fruit.

Porridge is a delicious and versatile breakfast that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
