Method

Heat the milk

In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and fine salt. Heat over medium, stirring a few times, until the milk is steaming and tiny bubbles are forming around the edges; keep it just below a full boil.

Simmer the kasha

Stir in the roasted buckwheat groats, then lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring every few minutes and scraping the bottom so nothing sticks, until the groats are tender and the porridge is thick and creamy.

Finish and serve

Take the pan off the heat and stir in the butter until it melts smoothly through the porridge. Add the sugar a little at a time, taste, and stop when it is sweet enough for you, then spoon the kasha into bowls and serve hot.
