1cup (5.25 ounces) Anson Mills Handmade Toasted Stone Cut Oats

3cups spring or filtered water
-
Scant ½ teaspoon fine sea salt

Butter, brown sugar, and/or heavy cream for serving

Place the oats and salt in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan and pour the water over them. Stir once. Allow the oats to settle a full minute, tilt the pan, and skim off and discard the chaff and hulls with a fine-mesh tea strainer.
-
Place the saucepan over low heat. Cover partially and bring the oats to a drowsy simmer without stirring. Continue to simmer over the lowest possible heat, stirring only once or twice, until the oats thicken, about 20 minutes.

Remove the pan from the heat, cover, and let rest for 3 minutes. Serve the oatmeal hot with butter, brown sugar, and cream (or any combination thereof).
