steel cut oats

I've been making oatmeal with the steel cut oats for some time now, and believe I have settled on a good recipe.

Melt 1 tbsp of butter in a pot. Toast 1 cup of oats for 2 minutes.

Add 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cook 20 minutes.

Add just under 1 cup of milk (depending on how milky you actually want it), and a tablespoon of half and half. Cook another 10-15 minutes.

Then serve as desired--raisins and walnuts; brown sugar and cinnamon; bananas; etc.
