Step 1:

How do you cook rolled oat porridge with milk? Gather all the ingredients. Check the cooking time on your oat package. The milk can be any fat percentage you like. Besides regular dairy milk, you can also use plant milk. The amount of sugar and salt is up to your taste.
Step 2:

Get a heavy-bottomed pot. Milk porridges should be cooked in one so they don't scorch. Pour the milk and water into the pot. A little water helps keep the milk from getting too rich, since some liquid evaporates as it cooks.
Step 3:

Over medium heat, stirring constantly so it doesn't scorch, bring the milk to a boil.
Step 4:

Add the rolled oats in small amounts, stirring constantly so the flakes spread evenly and don't settle to the bottom.
Step 5:

Add a pinch of salt and stir. If you're making a sweet porridge, add the sugar.
Step 6:

Cook the porridge over medium heat for 5–20 minutes. The exact time depends on the type of oats — check the package. If the porridge seems too thin to you, don't rush to add more flakes. The porridge will thicken a bit as it cooks down.
Step 7:

When the porridge is ready, add the butter to the pot. Stir so the melted butter spreads evenly through the porridge. Take the pot off the heat, cover it, and let it rest for 10–15 minutes.

This porridge comes out medium-thick. If you like a thinner porridge, add more milk or water than the recipe calls for.
Serve the warm porridge with honey, dried fruit, nuts, or berries. I like oat porridge unsweetened — it's tasty and healthy even without any add-ins.
Oat porridge with milk is best cooked right before serving, rather than reheated.
Instead of sugar, you can use a sweetener that holds up to heat.
For cooking, it's better to use filtered or bottled water with a neutral taste. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it can give the dish an unpleasant off-flavor.
