The Nation'S Favourite - Podgy Porridge! - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 pints full-fat milk
8 ounces organic jumbo porridge oats
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
7 fluid ounces single cream
honey or brown sugar, to serve

Preparation

Place the milk in a large, non-stick saucepan and bring to the boil. Briskly stir in the oats, honey, cinnamon and salt.
Bring to a very gentle simmer and cook for 8 - 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the mixture is cooked, add the cream or milk and stir until heated but not boiling. You will now have lovely, rich, creamy porridge.
Spoon the cooked porridge into warm bowls and, for ultimate extravagance, drizzle with lots of sticky golden syrup, honey or sprinkle with brown sugar.
NB: If guilt takes over and you don't want to go the whole hog, try a less podgy version of the porridge using skimmed milk. You can add extra milk in place of the cream at the end of the cooking time.
