Ingredients
  

For the Porridge
  • 4 cups Whole Milk Can substitute with heavy cream for richer taste.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour No direct substitute, cornstarch could work.
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar Can use brown sugar for deeper taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt Adjust to taste if using fine salt.
  • 4 tablespoons Salted Butter Unsalted butter can be used, increase salt.
For the Topping
  • 2 tablespoons Cinnamon-Sugar Can be swapped with vanilla sugar.

Equipment

  • heavy-bottomed saucepan
  • Whisk
  • small bowl
  • Measuring Cups

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Pour in the whole milk and heat it until it reaches 195°F, stirring constantly with a whisk to prevent scorching.
  2. While the milk heats, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and kosher salt in a small bowl.
  3. In a separate saucepan, gently melt the salted butter over low heat without browning it.
  4. Mix the dry flour mixture into the melted butter and stir to form a thick paste. Gradually add this paste into the hot milk, whisking continuously.
  5. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook the mixture while stirring for an additional 5 minutes until thickened.
  6. Spoon the Rømmegrøt into warm bowls and drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. Serve hot.
