Ingredients
- 1 cup barley grits (or barley groats)
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups milk
- 20 g unsalted butter
- salt and sugar to your taste
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash the barley in cold water. You can rinse it under running water using a strainer or follow my steps. Place grits in a bowl, cover it in water, and then drain it. Repeat these steps until the drained water is clear.
- Now, take a pot and place rinsed barley there.
- Cover the barley with hot/cold water and put the pot on the stove on the heat. Add a pinch of salt and lower the heat when the water starts boiling.
- Cook barley grits in water until they fully cook off. It can take you about 8 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Then pour warmed-up milk. Stir grits until they are covered evenly and fully in milk.
- When barley is simmering in milk, try stirring porridge constantly. In such a way, you will prevent porridge from burning. There is a chance that boiling porridge will be spitting hot liquid into you. Cover the pot with a lid after each stir.
- Add the necessary amount of sugar. I always start with a tablespoon and then add some more if I need to. Cook barley groats in milk for 15-20 minutes on low heat.
- Add butter, cover the pot with a lid, and set it aside for 10 minutes.
- Serve in deep bowls. Enjoy your meal!
