Steps

Step 1:
Cook the sour cream in a covered saucepan over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
5 min -
Step 2:
Turn down the heat, add half of the flour, and whisk well until the flour is fully incorporated.
-
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.

Step 4:
Whisk in the remaining flour.
-
Step 5:
Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook the porridge over low heat for 5 minutes, then add the salt.
