🇬🇧 English Porridge

This porridge is just right. Using two styles of oats, which means the steel-cut bits keep their pop, while the rolled oats melt around them—and getting them to the perfect texture only takes 20 minutes. Cooking with half milk, half water is enough to make it feel rich and loving, without slogging you down first thing in the morning. This will seem like a lot of salt. But it won't be too much, at the end add something sweet & something milky and it will all live in harmony.
