## Prep notes
- Use a medium saucepan suitable for simmering 4 servings of porridge.

## Ingredients
- 180 g rolled oats (standard old-fashioned rolled oats)
- 480 ml milk (whole milk or dairy-free alternative)
- 480 ml water (combined with milk for a balanced porridge base)
- 2.5 g kosher salt (enhances sweetness)
- 2 g ground cinnamon (optional spice)
- 96 g Biscoff cookie butter (smooth or crunchy spread)

## Method
1. **Combine**
  - **Combine liquids and dry:** Place rolled oats, milk, water, salt, and cinnamon into a medium saucepan.

2. **Simmer**
  - **Simmer oats:** Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. · 5 minutes · Look for: Oats absorb liquid and thicken into porridge

3. **Enrich**
  - **Stir in Biscoff:** Reduce heat to low and stir in the Biscoff cookie butter until fully melted and emulsified. · Look for: Porridge turns uniform and glossy

4. **Cook**
  - **Final simmer:** Simmer the complete mixture gently while stirring continuously to prevent sticking. · 2 minutes · Look for: Creamy but spoonable consistency with no dry liquid at the bottom

5. **Finish**
  - **Rest and serve:** Remove from heat, adjust with an extra splash of milk if too thick, and serve promptly. · 2 minutes · Look for: Pudding-like, soft texture

## Why it works
Simmering rolled oats in a milk-water blend hydrates the starches evenly, while stirring keeps the porridge creamy rather than gluey. Incorporating cookie butter off-peak prevents scorching while allowing the oils and sugars to emulsify smoothly into the hot oats.

## Failure modes
- Scorching the bottom of the pan from high heat.: Cook over medium heat and stir occasionally, reducing heat promptly once simmering.
- Oats becoming overly thick and dry upon resting.: Remove the saucepan from the heat slightly looser than desired, as oats continue to absorb liquid as they cool.
