Ingredients
  

For the Porridge
  • 4 cups Whole Milk Substitute with heavy cream for richer texture.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Can use gluten-free flour blend.
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar Adjust sweetness to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt Sea salt can be used as an alternative.
For Serving

  • Small Saucepan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour in the whole milk and set it over medium heat. Stir continuously as the milk heats until it reaches 195°F.
  2. While the milk warms, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and kosher salt in a mixing bowl.
  3. In a separate small saucepan, melt the salted butter over low heat until completely liquid, then set aside.
  4. Once the milk is at 195°F, stir the flour mixture into the melted butter to form a smooth paste, then gradually add into the heated milk, whisking continuously.
  5. Bring the combined mixture to a gentle boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
  6. Remove from heat and ladle warm Rømmegrøt into bowls. Drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar before serving.
