For some reason I ran the last two posts together in my mind and ended up with fried porridge. Now there's something I won't be trying. In all likelihood.

One of my favourite morning food treats is breakfast pancakes - oats, milk, eggs and chopped bacon mixed into a thick batter and cooked on the griddle. It's essentially a cross between a fry-up and porridge and it's truly delicious. Try it - you might like it!
I think I might - but without the bacon.

I think it needs the bacon, not sure it'd work so well without. Maybe replace the bacon with something else - smoked salmon, perhaps. Or a bit of cheese. Or just some fresh herbs and crank up the seasoning slightly.

Maybe a bit of cheese. For some reason I imagine gruyere would go well. It would be better than a doughnut! What proportion of eggs, milk and oats do you use?

Yes, I imagine gruyere would work quite well.

Proportions are something like 100g of oats, 2 eggs and no more than half a pint of milk. I tend to go by feel rather than measure precisely, but you want the batter to be pretty thick. And let it stand for a bit to allow the oats to soak up the milk - microwave oats are good as they're quite fine so soak it up quickly, or if you use normal porridge oats, you can whizz them up briefly in a food processor if you like, for the same effect.

Thanks, I might try that tomorrow.

I had eggs which were halfway between scrambled and omelette with courgette, red peppers and garlic. And pasta!

If you allow fried, fermented porridge, then you'd come up with something not unlike these:-

which are a lovely breakfast treat.

What exactly are they? In addition to fried, fermented porridge. And how do you ferment the porridge? It sounds potentially unhealthy!

Look like Staffordshire oatcakes to me. And you ferment them the usual way - by adding yeast. It's no more unhealthy than making bread!

I was thinking fermented as in sour milk. Potentially yummy, potentially (this is becoming word of the day, I must try not to use it again) vomitous.

There's only one breakfast for snow: porage, porage, and more porage!

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #95 on:** 05 February, 2012, 06:29:03 pm »

That's what I had this morning - and then I had loads of flapjack on the ride. I'm all oated up.

I tried citoyen's breakfast pancake. Mine was a bit Mk1 but has potential - certainly filling though and I will try again.

I had porridge with muscovado sugar stirred in. Hmmmmmm.

Simonb · « **Reply #98 on:** 05 February, 2012, 07:31:50 pm »

Huge bowl of porridge with raisins and honey. 2x very thick toast with butter (Mrs B's yummy home-made bread with coriander seeds).

It lasted me until 3pm (with a 3 hour interlude of snowy off-road).

CrinklyLion · « **Reply #99 on:** 05 February, 2012, 07:47:38 pm »

Coffee. Then, after a little snowman building to.build up the appetite, cold pizza (dirty food. Nom) and CAIK.
