Porridge is eaten in different variations in many countries and cultures. Originally, however, porridge comes from Scotland. In the rugged Highlands, a warming porridge was just the thing for breakfast and was also served as a filling meal for lunch or dinner in working-class families. It was customary to add just a pinch of salt to the porridge itself - nothing else. The grain was cooked in water and stirred with a wooden stick, the so-called spurtle, until a creamy, thick porridge was achieved. Cold milk, cream or buttermilk was then placed on the table. The spoonful of porridge could be dipped into these at will. Unlike their English neighbors, the Scots did not sweeten their porridge - only for children was a little brown sugar added. Even today, porridge is usually served plain in Scotland. There are separate ingredients to sweeten and refine it, such as maple syrup, cream, jam, compote, fresh fruit or - in true Scottish style - a little whisky. In addition to the sweet varieties, the Scots also like to serve their porridge savory. The wide variety of options means that there is something for every taste, and only high-quality spelt is used for the porridge flakes. The selected mixture of large leaf, small leaf, tender leaf and finely ground spelt flakes from the Spielberger flake mill produces a creamy, hearty porridge - in keeping with Scottish tradition. Spelt tastes delicately nutty. With the beginning of the organic movement, spelt was rediscovered as an unadulterated original grain. Until the Middle Ages, it was considered the most important bread grain. It was only with the intensification of agriculture and the increased use of artificial fertilizers that the grain fell into oblivion. There was a very simple reason for this: unlike wheat, spelt hardly reacts to the application of nitrogen fertilizer with an increase in yield. In organic farming, however, the positive properties of the grain are appreciated. In addition to its fine nutty taste and better digestibility, spelt is characterized by the fact that it also grows well in areas with higher rainfall and at higher altitudes.
Preparation:Bring 200 ml water, milk or plant-based drink to the boil. Stir in 65 g (4 tbsp) classic spelt porridge flakes. Turn off the hob and leave the porridge to infuse for about 1 minute while stirring on the hot plate. Then pour into a deep plate or bowl. Tip: A dash of cream, fresh fruit or a crunchy topping of pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds provide extra flavor and texture.
