Grandpa's Perfect Oatmeal

Source: Brent Johnson

One Large Serving:            Four Servings:

1 ½ cups water                4 ½  cups

1 cup old fashioned oats      3 cups

1 Tbsp. Butter                3 Tbsp

¼ tsp salt                    ¾ tsp

brown sugar, to taste

milk

Pour water into a large glass bowl, (must be large, or it will over boil) microwave until boiling rapidly. Quickly stir in oats, microwave for 3 more minutes.

Stir in butter, salt, sugar, and top with milk. Delish!

Oatmeal seems easy, but can easily become mushy and yucky. The trick is to get the water boiling fast, but don’t let it go too long so it evaporates. Open the microwave and stir in the oats quickly, and get the microwave started fast. The butter and the salt make all the difference!

Making more than 4 servings in one batch has always been disastrous for me.
