Description
A creamy, comforting Norwegian porridge made with milk, butter, and a touch of sugar — this Rømmegrøt is smooth, rich, and topped with melted butter and cinnamon-sugar for the ultimate cozy treat.
Ingredients
For the Porridge:
1 quart whole milk
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
For the Topping:
1/2 cup salted butter
Cinnamon-sugar mixture, to taste
Instructions
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it reaches about 195°F, stirring constantly to avoid scorching.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
- In another saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, reserving a few tablespoons for drizzling later.
- Stir the flour mixture into the melted butter to form a smooth paste.
- Gradually whisk the paste into the hot milk, stirring constantly until smooth and beginning to thicken.
- Reduce heat and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until thick and creamy.
- Spoon the warm Rømmegrøt into bowls, drizzle with the reserved melted butter, and sprinkle generously with cinnamon-sugar.
- Optional: Top with fresh berries or a spoonful of fruit preserves for added flavor.
Notes
For a richer texture, replace part of the milk with cream.
Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
Sweeten with maple syrup or honey instead of sugar for variation.
Top with berries, fruit compote, or toasted nuts for extra flavor and crunch.
Serve warm for the best texture, but it can also be enjoyed chilled as a dessert.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
