Pour it into a flat pan & leave to set. Cut into wedges, fry in butter & serve with lashings of golden syrup.

yes, I often make a big pot, put into bowls, cover with gladwrap and reheat in m/wave next day. everyone reckons it is nicer that way. seems to set somehow.

I agree with kassie48: goodness, me. I can think of nothing more disgusting than cold, claggy porridge: especially the kinda stuff that has not been salted by the 'cook'. devalois

1 Cup cold Porridge ½ Cup Sugar 2 Cups Flour 2 teaspoons Baking Powder 1 Egg 2 Tablespoons Melted Butter Milk (enough to make a stiff dough) 1.Mix all together well. 2.Drop spoonfuls on cold greased tray or muffin pans. 3.Bake 180ºCtill soft and spongy when touched – about 15 minutes. Eat while warm with butter. Oh la la.

Well tell us how you make yours and we'll tell you whether it should be nice or not!
I use half milk/half water, soak it overnight and cook it in the microwave in the morning.Love it with apple and cinnamon cooked in there with it and a swirl of apple syrup, or cream and brown sugar if I'm feeling indulgent (and actually have cream in the fridge!)

Atholl Brose does not include cooked porridge.It needs uncooked fineoatmeal.

That's how I make it too, though I've become lactose intolerant so use rice milk. It's sooooo delicious, nothing like the lump-infested stuff my mother used to serve up to us :(

That's similar to how I make it too, minus the apple syrup and sugar. I sometimes add pure maple syrup (not the nasty, artificially flavoured stuff) for added flavour. Having become lactose intolerant I use rice milk. It's sooooo delicious, nothing like the lump-infested stuff my mother used to serve up to us :)

Oh, and another use for cold porridge is adding it to soups.A cook where I used to study frequently put the left over porridge in the soup at lunch time and it was really good.You wouldn't have known it was porridge if you hadn't been told.

Ok um compared to the way you make yours, mine is going to be gross. So i put the porridge in a bowl, add hot water (sometimes some salt) and cook in microwave for 10mins. Thats it.

I know but this is how I'm TOLD to make it! Personally I would never eat it and Id love to make it with cinnamon and make it with milk but theres no cinnamon available and i might get told off if i make it different lol

If you soak the oatmeal overnight it doesn't need so much cooking. I just do 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup (rice) milk, pinch salt,, big pinch cinnamon, then microwave for 2 minutes.Then I give it a stir and might need to give it an extra minute or so, depending on how runny it is.Shouldn't need 10 mins.

IF i try to soak it overnight no doubt it will just get biffed by the night staff. Soaking it isn't an option. We are so limited - no wonder the food is yuck. ALso its cooked for 10mins coz I'm making it up in bulk.Im feeding 10 people.

reheat it by adding extra brown sugar and cream. serve with hot buttered toast.
