Rømmegrøt is a traditional Norwegian porridge made with whole milk, flour, sugar, and butter, topped with cinnamon-sugar and a generous drizzle of melted butter. This creamy and comforting dish is perfect for breakfast or as a dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Milk Mixture:

  • 1 quart whole milk

Flour Mixture:

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅛ teaspoon Morton kosher salt

Butter and Toppings:

  • ½ cup salted butter, plus more for serving
  • Cinnamon-sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Heat Milk: Set a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Heat milk to 195°F, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  2. Prepare Flour Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Melt Butter: Gently melt butter in a separate saucepan over medium heat.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Once the milk reaches 195°F, stir in the flour mixture and melted butter paste. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  5. Serve: Spoon the thickened porridge into bowls. Drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Rømmegrøt thickens upon standing, so adjust consistency with additional milk if needed.
  • For a richer flavor, use cultured butter.
  • Adjust sugar to taste based on preference for sweetness.
