Sautee oats in butter for approximately 4 minutes.

Add cold water and salt, bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat for 30 minutes.

After 15 minutes, add sugar, cinnamon, and crasins; continue to stir periodically.

When simmer is complete, add warm milk and cook on low for 5 more minutes.

Serve to taste (it's fine for me, but the kids want a little more sugar and butter, and they're skinny enough I don't care, because I did too!).
