Well this one is up for debate here at Strathallans Gluten Free Porridge Oats as there are 3 cooks here. There are the 2 Muirhead sisters Alison & Anita and myself (Mo) who works in the office.
All of us make a delicious bowl of porridge differently and so we have 3 different recipes. Can too many cooks spoil the porridge, definitely not. We have Alison who makes her porridge with water and a pinch of salt. Anita prefers hers with milk and no salt. Then there is myself who prefers porridge made with water and no salt required. The recipe below lets you choose whether you want to make it with milk, water or a mixture of both. Please give us your favourite method for the perfect bowl of porridge, email us at info@scottishglutenfree.com.
To keep your breakfast time interesting why not add some fresh or dried fruit to your delicious bowl of Scottish gluten free porridge.
