- Scald the milk ahead of time to save a step. Pour the measured scalded milk into a heavy-bottomed pot and set it on the stove. Over high heat, bring it back to a boil, watching closely so you don't miss the moment and let it boil over—an overflow can put out the burner flame. Lower the heat to medium and season the milk to taste. Beyond the usual salt and sugar, feel free to experiment for new flavor and aroma combinations; the classic version keeps it plain. Rinse the rolled oats to wash away hulls, stray grains, dust, and excess flour—skip this and an unappealing dark film can form on the surface, the milk can turn gray, and the flavor suffers. Once the milk is salted and sweetened to taste, stir in the oats, raise the heat, and bring to a boil. Cook over the lowest heat for 10–15 minutes, stirring constantly. Even with the heaviest-bottomed pot, the oatmeal can still scorch, which would spoil its delicate flavor. Stir butter into the finished oatmeal in the pot, or add it to each bowl individually. Serve the milk oatmeal plain or with your favorite toppings: honey or jam for a sweet tooth, or—if you're watching your figure—dried fruit (raisins, dried apricots, and so on), fresh fruit (apples, strawberries, raspberries, bananas), or a dusting of cinnamon. However you dress it up, oatmeal with milk for breakfast gives you energy and a good start to the day. Enjoy, and have a great one!
