Rømmegrøt – Norwegian Sour Cream Porridge

Ingredients

For 4 servings

Steps

  1. Step 1:

    Cook the sour cream in a covered saucepan over medium heat for about 5 minutes.

    5 min
  2. Step 2:

    Turn down the heat, add half of the flour, and whisk well until the flour is fully incorporated.

  3. Step 3:

    Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until fat starts to release. Use a spoon to gather as much of the fat as possible in a small bowl and save it for later. If no fat releases, you can add butter later instead.

  4. Step 4:

    Whisk in the remaining flour.

  5. Step 5:

    Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook the porridge over low heat for 5 minutes, then add the salt.

    5 min
  6. Step 6:

    Serve with sugar, cinnamon, and the fat from the porridge. If using lower-fat sour cream, top the rømmegrøt with butter instead.
