Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (45g) old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground Saigon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar, for topping
  • 1 tablespoon cold heavy cream

Instructions:

  1. Bring the milk and salt to a rolling boil in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Stir in the oats and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the liquid is mostly absorbed.
  3. Incorporate the cinnamon, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, and butter. Remove the pan from the heat immediately.
  4. Cover the pan with a lid and let it sit undisturbed for 2 minutes to allow the oats to fully hydrate via residual heat.
  5. Transfer to a bowl and finish with a sprinkle of extra brown sugar and a splash of cold cream.
