What is the ratio of liquid to buckwheat for porridge? For this recipe, we will be using four cups of liquid for one cup of buckwheat: 2 cups of water to cook buckwheat and then two more cups of milk. However, when you add milk you can adjust its amount to your needs. Pour more, if you want more runny porridge.
Ingredients for Buckwheat Porridge:
- 1 cup buckwheat;
- 2 cups water;
- 2 cups milk;
- 30 g butter;
- A pinch of salt;
- 1 tbsp. sugar.
How to cook buckwheat with milk for breakfast:
- Rinse buckwheat under cool running water (besides, you need to pay more attention when you are choosing buckwheat in the store).
- Get 2 cups of water to boiling in a pot on the high heat.
- Add rinsed buckwheat and wait until the water starts boiling.
- Then lower the heat to medium. Porridge should be constantly simmering.
- Cook buckwheat until it is fully cooked. As a rule, it takes from 15 to 20 minutes to make it happen.
- In a separate saucepan warm up milk, (do not let it boil on the stove!).
- Pour warm milk into the pan with cooked buckwheat and leave it on the medium heat.
- Add a pinch of salt and a tablespoon of sugar. Note that the amount of sugar that you add is up to you. For me, one tablespoon is enough.
- Do not forget to add butter, too.
- When the milk starts boiling, take the pot from the stove and cover it with a lid. Leave porridge for 10 minutes before serving!
