Best Creamy Philly Porridge Recipes

CREAM OF WHEAT (SEMOLINA) PORRIDGE

Steps:

• Combine milk, water, butter, and salt in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring gently. Remove from heat. Pour in semolina flour in a steady stream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
• Place saucepan back over medium heat; whisk until porridge comes to a boil, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and cover; cook until porridge thickens, about 20 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat; stir in sugar.
• Let porridge stand for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.

PORRIDGE

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine the oats, water, salt, sugar, bananas and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, and simmer until the liquid has been absorbed, stirring frequently. Pour into bowls, and top each with a splash of cold milk.

CREAMY PHILLY PORRIDGE

Steps:

• MIX together the porridge and 1/2 cup of the milk. ( I also add the cream cheese at this step so it melts into the milk but you can add it at the end if you wish.).
• Microwave on High for 1 minute. Stir, and cook a further 30 seconds.
• POUR remaining milk over porridge, top with cream cheese, drizzle with golden syrup or honey, and sprinkle with cinnamon. Serve immediately.

PERFECT PORRIDGE

Steps:

• Put 50g porridge oats in a saucepan, pour in 350ml milk or water and sprinkle in a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil and simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring from time to time and watching carefully that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
• Or you can try this in a microwave. Mix the porridge oats, milk or water and a pinch of salt in a large microwaveproof bowl, then microwave on High for 5 minutes, stirring halfway through. Leave to stand for 2 minutes before eating.
• To serve, pour into bowls, spoon Greek yogurt, thinned with a little milk, on top and drizzle with honey.

CREAMY YOGURT PORRIDGE

Steps:

• Tip 200ml water into a small non-stick pan and stir in porridge oats.
• Cook over a low heat until bubbling and thickened. (To make in a microwave, use a deep container to prevent spillage as the mixture will rise up as it cooks, and cook for 3 mins on High.)
• Stir in yogurt - or swirl in half and top with the rest. Serve plain or with one of our toppings (see 'goes well with').
