How is porridge soooo good! I'm convinced the Gods of Olympus ate porridge not Ambrosia! How are you all having yours and what are your ingredient ratios? Any banana or dried fruit people out there? Do you cook it in a pan or microwave (except readypots obvs). I make it with 1 porridge oats, 1 milk, 1 water using the same cup to measure. Cooked in a non-stick saucepan, then a bit of golden syrup. I sieve the oats from the bag to get rid of the oaty dust, probably too nerdy but it makes a better texture imho. Would love to hear your preferences!!
