This porridge is a healthy day starter and very common part of Finnish breakfast.
250 ml water
less than 100 ml regular rolled oats
pinch of salt
(pat of butter, milk, sugar/honey, berries, jam)
Although rolled oats take only about 15 minutes or less to cook, the porridge will be better if cooked for a little longer.
Bring the water to the boil in a thick-bottomed saucepan, add the rolled oats, stirring with a wire whisk. Reduce the heat to minimum and let the mixture cook for a couple of minutes, stirring continually with a wooden spoon.
Turn off the heat, cover the pan with a lid and let the porridge simmer slowly for about 30 minutes. Stir every now and then to prevent the porridge from burning on the bottom or forming a skin on the surface. Season with salt (and a pat of butter). Spoon the hot porridge on a deep plate.
You can pour milk and sugar on porridge and also use fresh berries or jam with it if you like.
