Ingredients

Scale
Milk and Flours
- 1 quart whole milk
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
Sweeteners and Seasonings
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon Morton kosher salt
Butter and Toppings
- 1/2 cup salted butter, plus more for serving
- Cinnamon-sugar
Instructions
- Heat the Milk: Place a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Use a kitchen thermometer to monitor the temperature, heating the milk to 195°F. Stir almost continuously, scraping the bottom to prevent burning.
- Prepare Dry Mixture: While the milk heats, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Melt Butter: Gently melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and keep warm.
- Combine Flour Mixture: Once the milk reaches 195°F, stir the flour mixture into the melted butter to form a thick paste. Add this paste to the hot milk, stirring constantly until it starts to boil.
- Cook the Porridge: Reduce the heat to low and cook the mixture for an additional 5 minutes, stirring often, until thickened and smooth like pudding. Remove from heat.
- Serve: Spoon the rømmegrøt into individual bowls. Drizzle warm melted butter over each serving and sprinkle generously with cinnamon-sugar. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Make sure to stir constantly during cooking to prevent lumps and burning.
- This dish is traditionally served warm, but can be enjoyed at room temperature.
- You can adjust the amount of cinnamon-sugar based on your preference for sweetness.
