For an extra layer of flavor, consider using brown butter (beurre noisette) instead of regular unsalted butter. The nutty notes will elevate the porridge to new heights. Adjust the sweetness to your preference. Some prefer a less sweet porridge, while others enjoy a more decadent treat. This porridge can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk if needed to restore its creamy consistency.

Apr 10, 2025I was a little intimidated by the long cooking time, but it was totally worth it. The key is to keep stirring and not let it burn. I added a little vanilla extract at the end for extra flavor.
