This recipe was one of the first recipes I ever made by myself, when I was a wee little munchkin. It was on the back of one of my favorite children's picture books: Goldilocks and the Three Bears, illustrated by Jim Aylesworth.

3/4 tsp salt
3 c rolled oats

MAMA BEAR'S PORRIDGE

This is almost like rice pudding, it's a stick-to-your-ribs breakfast! Don't worry about adding raw eggs, they will cook completely in the porridge! This can also be made in the microwave, but you will need to remove a couple of times to stir.

Time 20m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

3 cups water
1 cup powdered milk
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2-1 teaspoon cinnamon (or to taste)
2 -4 tablespoons white sugar (to taste) (optional) or 2 -4 tablespoons brown sugar (to taste) (optional)
1/2 cup raisins
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
1 tablespoon butter (can use more)
1 cup half-and-half or 1 cup full-fat milk
honey

Steps:

In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan bring 3 cups water to a boil.
In another bowl mix together powdered milk, oats, cinnamon and sugar (if using, can use white or brown sugar) quickly stir into the boiling water; return to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 6-10 minutes or until the mixture is desired thickness.
Remove from heat and mix in the raisins and vanilla.
Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition (the hot porridge will cook the eggs completely).
Divide the porridge between 3 or 4 bowls, then top with a teaspoon of butter (or more to taste) and then about 1/4 cup of cream or milk.
Drizzle with honey as desired.

Tips:

Use old-fashioned oats. Quick-cooking or instant oats will not work well in this recipe.
Measure the oats correctly. Use the scoop and sweep method to ensure you have the right amount of oats.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
Bake the cookies until they are golden brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry.
Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying. This will allow the flavors to develop.
