- Rinse the barley groats well (until the water runs clear) — it's easiest to do this in a colander under running water, to wash away any dust and bits of debris. Let the groats dry, then put them in the dry slow cooker pot and toast them for 7 minutes on the "Fry/Sauté" setting with the lid open, stirring constantly with a wooden spatula.
- Then pour in the water and add the salt. Run the "Milk Porridge" setting for 35 minutes; in that time the grain should swell fully and absorb all the liquid. Add a pat of butter and let the porridge rest, covered, for another 20 minutes. It comes out especially tasty and a lovely golden color. Serve it with a little butter or sugar, as you like.
- Enjoy!
