Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 quart whole milk
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅛ teaspoon Morton kosher salt
  • ½ cup salted butter, plus more for serving
  • Cinnamon-sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Heat the Milk: Set a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Using a kitchen thermometer, heat the milk to 195°F while stirring almost continuously and scraping the bottom to prevent burning.
  2. Prepare Flour Mixture: While the milk heats, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
  3. Melt the Butter: Gently melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then turn off the heat and hold warm until the milk reaches the target temperature.
  4. Combine and Cook: Once the milk has reached 195°F, stir the flour mixture into the melted butter to form a thick paste. Add this paste to the heated milk, stirring constantly until the milk begins to boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the mixture is smooth and thick like pudding. Remove from heat.
  5. Serve: Spoon the rømmegrøt into individual bowls. Drizzle with warm melted butter and sprinkle generously with cinnamon-sugar. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan to prevent the milk from scorching during heating.
  • Stirring constantly is crucial to achieve a smooth texture and avoid lumps.
  • Adjust sweetness by altering the amount of sugar or cinnamon-sugar topping to taste.
  • For a dairy-free alternative, try substituting whole milk with a rich non-dairy milk and use vegan butter.
  • This porridge is best enjoyed hot and fresh, as it thickens further when cooled.
