Fer cookin' millet, I put 1 cup (237 ml) o' millet and 3 1/2 cups (835 ml) o' water inta my saucepan, cover it, and turn the heat up to high. Now watch yer millet carefully. As soon as it starts ta boil, turn it down ta low instantly er you'll have a good hour's work cleanin' up yer stove. Now, turn on yer timer fer 15 minutes, then shut off the heat, and let the pot rest fer another 10 minutes. When it's ready, you'll have a nice light grain ta serve up.
