Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Rømmegrøt
  1. In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, gently heat 4 cups of whole milk over medium heat until it reaches 195°F. Stir continuously to prevent scorching.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and ½ teaspoon of kosher salt.
  3. In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of salted butter over low heat. Set aside once fully melted.
  4. Mix the dry ingredients with the melted butter, stirring to form a smooth paste. Gradually add this mixture to the heated milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and let the Rømmegrøt simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently to achieve a smooth, pudding-like consistency.
  6. Spoon generous portions into bowls while still warm. Drizzle with the reserved melted butter and sprinkle cinnamon-sugar on top.
