ive seen it mentioned on here and whilst watching hugh last night talking about breakfast, I thought porridge in a drawer could be an ideal solution for dh, as he leaves for work at 6.30 each morning.
also is it really kept in a drawer?
The porridge in a drawer is from old times, it was literally made and poured in a drawer, went cold and family cut chunks out for a meal during the week
Also avoided the "no work on the Sabbath" rule, so made on Saturday & poured in dresser drawer for meals on Sunday
Yes it was in a drawer (lined with baking paper and kept clean!), but you could just keep it in a tupperwear box. Sandwich two slices together with jam yum! It's much easier to eat than hot porridge from a flask.
If he tries to cold porridge and doesn't like it, try porridge pancakes. This is enough for ~5 days of breakfasts: cover 200g oats with boiling water and soak until cool, add 2 eggs and enough milk to make a thick batter (1-2 tbsp flour will make it smoother) and fry like pancakes. You can add dried or fresh fruit, cinammon, sugar etc If you make them small and thick they're very easy to eat on the go, even dipped into coffee like a biscuit!
Could porridge in a drawer be the start of a new*revived* craze?
im just wondering if it would be ok to do in silicone square tray then cut up like flapjack and serve to kids with jam and not tell them its porrige lol

thanks for that, am going to do those tomorow so he has them for tuesday onwards
I do similar for DS as a biscuity flapjack alternative. I use oats, water, small bit of olive oil and some whizzed up dried fruit, I cook on a low heat in the oven until firm, then slice up. They are really nice.
