What each ingredient does
- Graham flour
- Provides the thickening starch and the coarse, hearty texture of the porridge.
The step that matters
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly. Starch in the flour absorbs water and thickens as it heats, but it settles and scorches quickly on the bottom of the pot. Constant stirring at low heat keeps the mixture smooth and evenly thickened.
