Rømmegrøt
Description
Rømmegrøt involves heating whole milk carefully to nearly boiling while stirring constantly to prevent scorching. In parallel, a mixture of flour, sugar, and kosher salt is blended into melted butter to form a paste. This paste is then stirred into the heated milk, thickening it further as the mixture continues to cook until it reaches a smooth, pudding-like consistency.
The final porridge is served hot in individual bowls, generously drizzled with warm melted butter and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. The cinnamon sugar adds a sweet-spicy note that balances the creamy base, enhancing the dish's traditional character and pleasant texture.
This recipe calls for steady stirring during cooking to avoid lumps and ensure an even thickness, resulting in a smooth, rich porridge typical of rømmegrøt served in Norway.
Ingredients
- 1 quart milk whole
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt Morton brand
- ½ cup butter plus more for serving, salted
- cinnamon sugar
Instructions
- Set a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Using a kitchen thermometer, heat milk to 195°F. Stir almost continuously, scraping the bottom of the pan, so the milk does not burn.
- While milk is heating, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
- While milk is heating, gently melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Turn off heat and hold until milk has reached 195°F.
- Once milk temperature has reached 195°F, stir flour mixture into melted butter to form a thick paste. Add this to the heated milk, stirring constantly, until milk starts to boil. Then turn heat down to low and let cook for 5 minutes more, stirring often. The mixture should be smoothed-out and thickened, like a thick pudding. Remove saucepan from heat.
- Spoon rømmegrøt into individual bowls. Drizzle warm melted butter over the top and then add a hefty sprinkle of cinnamon-sugar. Enjoy right away!
