Ingredients
  

  • 1 quart whole milk Whole milk for a rich, creamy texture
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour For thickening the porridge
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar Sweetens the dish
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt Enhances flavor balance
  • ½ cup salted butter Use unsalted if preferred, for a less salty taste
  • cinnamon-sugar For topping, to taste

Method
 

  1. Set a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Use a thermometer to bring the milk to 195°F, stirring almost constantly and scraping the bottom to prevent burning.
  2. While the milk is warming, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt in a separate small bowl. Set it aside.
  3. In a small saucepan, melt the butter gently over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat and hold it until the milk reaches 195°F.
  4. Once the milk reaches the right temperature, slowly whisk the flour mixture into the melted butter, creating a smooth paste. Stir this paste into the hot milk, mixing constantly until the milk begins to boil. Lower the heat and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened to a pudding-like consistency.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and spoon the rømmegrøt into bowls. Drizzle with warm melted butter and sprinkle generously with cinnamon-sugar before serving.
