Description
Rommegrot is a traditional Norwegian sweet cream porridge made with butter, flour, milk, and sugar. Rich, creamy, and comforting, it’s often served warm with cinnamon and melted butter, making it a nostalgic treat during holidays or cold winter nights.
Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups whole milk, warmed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Ground cinnamon, for topping
Additional melted butter, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 5–7 minutes until the mixture turns pale golden with a nutty aroma.
- Gradually add the warmed milk, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring vigorously after each addition to maintain a smooth texture.
- Continue cooking and stirring for 10–15 minutes until the porridge thickens into a creamy consistency.
- Stir in the sugar and salt, allowing them to fully dissolve and combine for a couple more minutes.
- Serve warm in bowls, topped with ground cinnamon and a drizzle of melted butter if desired.
Notes
Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version.
Add a splash of vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
Substitute one cup of milk with heavy cream for extra richness.
Top with brown sugar instead of granulated sugar for a deeper sweetness.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat with a splash of milk.
