Serves 3
1 apple, finely sliced or chopped
100g raisins*
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp hot water
150ml jumbo rolled oats**
150ml cold water
150ml semi-skimmed milk***
Finely slice or chop the apple. Add to a pan with the raisins, cinnamon and water and heat on a medium ring, simmering until the apple is softened and the liquid largely evaporated.
Add the remaining ingredients and stir together.
Bring to a gentle boil, stirring regularly. Once the porridge is bubbling vigorously, reduce to an easy simmer for 1 minute.
* This is very approximate; adjust to preference.
** I find that the jumbo rolled leave a pleasant bite to the finished porridge.
*** Whole milk (or skimmed, if you're a monster) could be substituted. Scots may prefer to use another 150ml or water, but if you're that much of a Scots porridge purist, I probably lost you at 'apple'.
