Rømmegrøt – Norwegian Sour Cream Porridge

A breakfast dish from the Norwegian kitchen.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Full fat sour cream
  • 3/4 cup Flour
  • 2 cups Milk
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • Sprinkling Sugar
  • Sprinkling Cinnamon
  • To taste Butter

Method

  1. ▢ Cook the sour cream in a covered saucepan on medium heat for about 5 minutes. ▢ Turn down the heat and add half of the flour and stir well with a whisk. Once the flour is fully incorporated, let the mixture continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until fat starts to release. Use a spoon to gather as much of the fat as you can in a small bowl, saving for later. (Don't worry if you can't get any fat – in that case you can add butter later.) ▢ Whisk in the rest of the flour and then slowly add the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Let the porridge continue to cook on low heat for 5 minutes and then add salt. ▢ Serve with sugar, cinnamon, and the fat from the porridge. If you're using lower fat sour cream you can top the rømmegrøt with some butter instead.
