Scottish porridge (the original stuff) is just steel cut oatmeal (the Irish stuff is similar). I cook it with a little salt and then when cooked, add a shake of salt and a little top of the milk. No sugar, no honey, no fruit, no NUTTIN!

For traditional porridge, I use Bobs Red Mill Scottish porridge oats 3 parts water to one part oats. Bring water and a pinch of salt to boil, slowly add oats to boiling water stirring all the while. Take off the heat and cover. Ready in 3-4 mins .. Stir occasionally.
As Ishbel said, add a dribble of cold milk and a sprinkle of salt. Anything else kills the wonderful texture and flavour of the oats. Yummm!
Thanks for all the responses and yes, I make my own mixture now ad lib and it tastes just fine. I really love eating steel cut oats for breakfast with some cinnamon, honey and half-and-half dairy.
You could ad lib the mixture even though I haven't made the mixture to this date. I truly enjoy the steel cut oats just by themselves. You could eyeball the amount of flax seeds to your oats ad lib.
