Ingredient substitutions
Milk
- Water: Allowed pantry fallback; the porridge will be thinner and less traditional.
Vanilla sugar
- Sugar: Use only if needed; it sweetens but lacks the traditional vanilla aroma.
Jam
- Sugar: Sprinkle lightly if jam is unavailable; it will not give the same fruity topping.
