Instructions
Step 1
For traditional porridge with milk, use oatmeal. It is cooked for quite a long time, at least a couple of hours, so experienced housewives boil it in advance, without bringing it to readiness a little. And then there are the options. Either boil for 2-3 days, cool and put in the refrigerator, or cook more, and when it cools down, put in glasses and freeze. In either case, in the morning it will be possible to put the required amount in a small saucepan and bring it to readiness with milk. Oatmeal will turn out like just cooked, it will not lose any of the nutrients that whole oat groats are so rich in.
Step 2
Repeat the famous Guryev porridge, in your version, cook it from pre-cooked oatmeal. The essence of the rare recipe is in two important components: eggs and skimmed foam. Let's start with porridge, which needs to be warmed up a little so that the oatmeal "jelly" is dispersed and 3-4 eggs, previously mixed with a small amount of sugar and vanilla, can be driven into it. Prepare a baking dish, brush it with butter and lay out a layer of porridge to cover the bottom. In the meantime, you should have everything ready for the foams.
Step 3
Pour heavy cream into a wide non-stick dish and place in the oven at a temperature not exceeding 60 degrees. The very foams that need to be removed will begin to form on the surface. Transfer them carefully to layers of oatmeal until one or the other runs out. It is desirable that the top layer is made of foams. Bake in the oven, garnish with berries, nuts or dried fruits when serving. Trust me, this leftover oatmeal dish can even be served for a festive breakfast.
Step 4
If oatmeal in advance is not your option, make a porridge with Hercules flakes. They are grains, stripped of the shell and flattened to speed up cooking. Flakes, in turn, are of two types: some are enough to pour with boiling milk and insist in a sealed container for 3-5 minutes, others must be boiled over a fire. Nutritionists are unanimous: in terms of benefits for the body, Hercules is not the last in the line of other cereals, but it is significantly inferior to oatmeal cooked from whole cereals.
Step 5
If you want not only to satisfy your morning hunger, but also to saturate the body with useful substances, cook milk porridge from oat bran. Bran is the shell of grain, in which the main reserves of nutrients are concentrated, in particular, vitamins of group B. Another indisputable advantage of such porridge is that it is cooked for 5-7 minutes. Disadvantages can be attributed only to one thing - tk. ground grain shell is a kind of "whisk", it does not work in the best way on people with problems with the gastrointestinal tract. Rarely enough, bran can cause bloating in the intestines and discomfort in the right hypochondrium. Of course, then they should be excluded from the diet. But in general, this is a "live" product of proper nutrition, for a healthy person, bran oatmeal cooked in low-fat milk is a real find. In addition, the product acts as an adsorbent, helping to remove toxins, which cannot be disregarded given our diets. But if you take vitamins or other pharmacological agents in the morning, they should be diluted with such porridge for a couple of hours in time.
Step 6
Cook oatmeal in milk using a microwave or slow cooker. In most cases, these devices are a real gift to the ever-hurrying residents of the urbanistic society. Some multicooker is also equipped with a delayed start button, respectively, porridge can be "ordered" directly to the rise. Put a piece of butter in it, pour it over with honey - and a wonderful breakfast for the whole family will not keep you waiting. Only when cooking, do not add sugar to such a porridge - otherwise, instead of benefit, you will get an imbalance in the carbohydrate balance.
Step 7
Make a wonderful Sunday breakfast for the whole family - Milk Porridge in a Pot. To do this, in the evening, pour the sorted and washed cereals with milk, in volume six times the volume of cereals, salt, season with sugar and put in the oven at a temperature of 65-70 degrees. Thus, you will simulate the effect of boiling oatmeal in milk in a cooling Russian oven. Of course, there is a risk that the porridge may burn during this time. It will be nullified by the choice of dishes in which you will cook. Either the pot must be very old (this is the law of the genre, just as nothing sticks to the time-tested cast-iron frying pan, so here too), or ultra-modern, which consists in applying a good non-stick coating to the walls.
Step 8
10-15 minutes before serving, put a little butter on the surface of the porridge, sprinkle with sugar - you are provided with a caramelized crust, no worse than crème brulee and crème caramel, which are loved by many desserts. If you have a pastry burner, you can make this crust look awesome. Another option is to drizzle with liquid honey. If you only have a thick one - it's okay, heat it up to 30-35 degrees, the honey will liquefy. It is not necessary to heat it higher - valuable trace elements from this will become significantly lower. On top of the honey, apply a thin layer of fried almond flakes in a dry pan. Hold it in the oven for a few minutes - and a wonderful oatmeal for the whole family can be brought to the table under the impatient exclamations of the household.
