Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Rolled oats
• 2 cups Milk
• 3 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 tbsp Butter
• 1/4 tsp Salt

Steps

1. Bring the milk and salt to a bare simmer — never a boil, which makes the porridge gluey.
2. Stir in the oats and cook low 8–10 minutes, stirring often, until thick and creamy.
3. Rest 2 minutes off the heat; the gröt tightens as it stands, so pull it early.
4. Serve with a knob of butter melting in the middle and brown sugar over the top.
5. A spoonful of lingonberry jam on top is the traditional upgrade — tart against the sweet porridge.
