Finish. Extra complex flavor, dry-toast this oats in the cooking pot over a high flame, mixing and tossing constantly, till gently toasted and fragrant, next remove from heat and proceed if you prefer a deeper. Mix oats and water/milk in a mid-sized saucepan or 3-quart saucier and leave to stand, covered, overnight (if using milk, let this oats soak in the fridge overnight) if making overnight oats. Mix oats plus water/milk in the saucepan plus proceed using cooking promptly if not making overnight oats. Bring oats and water/milk to a simmer over a medium-high flame, seasoning gently using a pinch of salt. Reduce heat in order to maintain a gentle simmer plus heat uncovered, mixing often but slowly, till porridge is well-thickened but still flows a little, around 5 minutes for overnight oats plus 20 minutes for un-soaked oats. Mix in extra water 1/4 cup (60ml) after another, and keep cooking, till wanted texture of oats is reached if oats are still too firm in order to your taste. Scoop porridge in warmed bowls plus top using a pat of butter plus/or a splash of cream. Scatter brown sugar on top. Serve.
