For the Porridge
  • 1 quart whole milk For extra decadence, substitute with heavy cream.
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour Acts as a thickening agent.
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar Consider brown sugar for a caramel hint.
  • teaspoon kosher salt Can be swapped with sea salt if needed.

For Serving
  • to taste cinnamon-sugar Adjust the cinnamon to your preference.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, gently heat 1 quart of whole milk over medium heat until it reaches 195°F, stirring almost continuously to avoid scorching.
  2. While the milk is heating, whisk together ¾ cup of all-purpose flour, ¼ cup of granulated sugar, and ⅓ teaspoon of kosher salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan, slowly melt ½ cup of salted butter over low heat, ensuring it doesn't brown.
  4. Once the milk reaches 195°F, stir the flour mixture into the melted butter to form a paste. Gradually whisk this into the hot milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
  5. Reduce the heat and simmer the mixture for 5 minutes while stirring often, until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
  6. Spoon the warm rømmegrøt into bowls, drizzle with melted butter, and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar before serving.
