  • Start by rinsing the groats well — keep going until the water runs clear. Then transfer them to a saucepan, add the water, and set on the stove. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and skim off any foam. When the porridge is nearly done, add salt. Don't forget to stir as it cooks. Once the water has almost fully cooked off, stir in the butter, then take the pan off the heat and cover with a lid — you can even wrap the pot up. Let it sit for about 20 minutes. After that, the porridge is ready to serve. Enjoy!
