Irish Porridge:

Into four cups of briskly boiling water sprinkle one cup of oatmeal, stirring well. Reduce heat and simmer on low to medium low, uncovered for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and allow to stand for 2-3 minutes before serving. Traditionally served with fresh buttermilk, Irish porridge is also good with milk or cream and brown sugar or honey, or with butter.
