Creamy Rømmegrøt (with milk)
Yield: 8 servings
My rømmegrøt recipe is similar to a rich milk pudding, and so delightful with a drizzle of salted melted butter and a good sprinkling of cinnamon-sugar over the top. I use whole milk to make it, or heavy cream if I'm feeling indulgent. Our family enjoys this as a cozy dessert or a festive, decadent breakfast during the holidays!
Ingredients
- 1 quart whole milk
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon Morton kosher salt
- ½ cup salted butter, plus more for serving
- 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 will become smoothed-out and thickened, like a thick pudding. Do not walk away from the stove. Do not overcook! After you've whisked the milk and flour together, keep stirring the porridge as it cooks, scraping the bottom of the saucepan. This will ensure that the milk doesn't overcook or burn.
- 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!
Notes
To store and reheat:
- Fridge - Place cooled leftovers in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Reheat - Gently rewarm the rømmegrøt in a saucepan over medium-low/low heat, using a whisk to smooth it out. If needed, add a splash of milk to loosen it up. Or place it in a microwave-safe bowl with a loose cover to prevent any splatter, and heat it in 20-second increments, stirring after each time, until heated through.
