Cooking the Base

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water or milk to a boil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Toast the Bread

    While the oatmeal or grits are cooking, toast 2 slices of bread until golden brown.

Serving

  1. 5

    Add Toppings

    Once the oatmeal or grits are cooked, remove from heat and stir in 1 tbs of butter until melted.

  2. 6

    Serve Hot

    Spoon the creamy oatmeal or grits into bowls. Top with 2 tbs of brown sugar, 1 cup of milk, and optional toppings of raisins or pecans as desired.

  3. 7

    Serve with Toast

    Serve the oatmeal or grits alongside the toast for a complete meal.
