Pour the milk into a non-stick saucepan and bring it to a simmer, ensuring small bubbles appear on the surface without boiling.

Slowly add the oats, salt, and sugar while stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon.

Keep stirring until bubbles appear again, then reduce the heat, cover the pan, and cook gently for 8 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the oats.

When the porridge is done, it should be thick but pourable with soft oats.

Add cream to taste and stir, and optionally add a tablespoon of honey.
