Chef’s Tips

• Add the salt. Porridge without it is flat.
• Stir often so it thickens evenly and does not catch.
• Loosen with a splash of milk if it firms up as it sits.

Pairing Suggestions

• Honey
• Fresh berries
• A pot of tea

Storage & Reheating

Best fresh, though you can refrigerate it up to 3 days and reheat with a splash of milk.
