Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot to cook the porridge, as this will help to prevent sticking and burning.
  • Bring the milk and water to a boil before adding the oats, as this will help to ensure that the oats cook evenly.
  • Stir the porridge frequently while it is cooking, to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Add the dried fruits and nuts towards the end of the cooking time, so that they do not become overcooked.
  • Serve the porridge hot, with additional milk or cream, and a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg.
