Alton Brown'S Steel Cut Oats

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 cup steel cut oats
• 3 cups boiling water
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk or 1/2 cup plain yogurt
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1. In a large saucepan, melt the butter and add the oats. Stir for 2 minutes to toast.
2. Add the boiling water and reduce heat to a simmer. Keep at a low simmer for 25 minutes, without stirring.
3. Alternately, after adding the boiling water,cover the saucepan and remove from the heat. Allow to sit overnight on the counter. In the morning, proceed as directed below.
4. Combine the milk and the buttermilk (or yogurt) with the oatmeal. Stir gently to combine and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
5. Spoon into a serving bowl and top with additional milk or buttermilk, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
6. Feel free to garnish or sweeten as desired: chunky applesauce or fruit conserves are great, as is maple syrup, or add dried fruit to the oats and soak both overnight - sweetens the oats ever so slightly.
