Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Stir frequently to prevent scorching.
  • Reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the flour, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens into a smooth paste.
  • Gradually add the milk while whisking continuously, ensuring the mixture remains smooth. Increase the heat to medium and cook until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir well until the butter is fully melted and incorporated into the porridge.
  • Remove the rommegrot from the heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
  • Serve warm in bowls, topped with ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and a dollop of butter for authentic flavor.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use full-fat milk and high-quality butter. Adjust the sugar and cinnamon topping to taste.
