Rommagrout

Experience the comforting warmth of **Rommagrout**, a traditional Norwegian sour cream porridge that's rich, creamy, and irresistibly indulgent. Made with a base of tangy sour cream and thickened with all-purpose flour, this hearty dish is gently simmered with whole milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt to create a velvety texture that's perfect for cozy mornings or festive gatherings. What makes Rommagrout truly special is the unique process of skimming and drizzling the separated sour cream fat atop the finished porridge, accentuating its buttery depth. A sprinkle of cinnamon and a touch of sugar add the perfect hint of sweetness, while a pat of butter melts into the warm bowl for extra decadence. Ready in just 30 minutes, this centuries-old Scandinavian comfort food is a delightful way to bring Nordic traditions to your table.

Ingredients

• 2 cups Sour cream
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 4 cups Whole milk
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring the sour cream to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir continuously to prevent it from scorching.

Step 2

Once the sour cream begins to bubble slightly, gradually sift in 1/2 cup of the flour. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon to prevent lumps from forming. The fat from the sour cream will begin to separate, which is normal.

Step 3

Using a spoon, carefully skim off the fat that separates from the mixture and set it aside in a small bowl. This will be used later for drizzling on top of the porridge.

Step 4

Slowly pour the milk into the sour cream mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly to blend smoothly.

Step 5

Sift in the remaining 1/2 cup of flour, a little at a time, while continuing to stir. Ensure the mixture stays smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Add the sugar and salt, stirring well to combine. Allow the porridge to cook for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens to the desired consistency.

Step 7

Remove the porridge from heat and spoon it into serving bowls.

Step 8

Drizzle the reserved fat (from Step 3) over each portion. Sprinkle with cinnamon and an extra pinch of sugar if desired. Add a small pat of butter for added richness.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your traditional Norwegian Rommagrout!
