- Choose whole-grain buckwheat groats for this. Whole milk gives the best flavor, but store-bought skim milk makes for a lighter porridge. The same goes for the sugar — you can leave it out entirely for a diet-friendly version. And if you have a sweet tooth, you don't need to add more sugar; just drizzle the porridge with honey when serving. It's sweet and better for you than sugar. Milk buckwheat porridge reheats fine, but it's undeniably best made in the amount you'll eat in one sitting — much tastier that way. 1. Pick over the buckwheat, sorting out and discarding any specks, debris, or darkened grains — rinsing alone won't remove everything. Then put the sorted groats in a bowl, cover with water, and swish to wash off the dust and grit. Drain and repeat the same way. 2. Pour water into the pot you'll cook the porridge in (ideally not an enameled one) and set it over the heat. Bring the water to a boil, then add the clean, prepped groats. 3. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the buckwheat cook until the liquid has fully cooked off. 4. Now pour in the milk — it should be at room temperature. At this point add the sugar and a pinch of salt. Cook the buckwheat in the milk, stirring, for 10 minutes. 5. When the time's up, take the pot off the heat and cover it tightly; you can even wrap it in a towel. Let it stand another 10-15 minutes to steam through. Serve. If you like, finish with butter and honey — but only right before serving. Enjoy!
