Analyzing cooking steps...
Using coarse or jumbo rolled oats provides a better, more traditional texture than instant oats.
Cooking with water first is the classic Scottish method. It prevents milk from scorching on the bottom of the pan. You can always add milk or cream at the end for richness.
The 1-to-3 ratio of oats to water is a reliable starting point for perfect consistency.
Low and slow cooking is key. Don't rush the process; allow the oats 10-15 minutes to fully break down and become creamy.
