Ingredients

5 servings
  • 2 cups Full fat sour cream
  • 3/4 cup Flour
  • 2 cups Milk

    Suggested swaps

    Oat milk · 1:1 ratio — Creamy texture; works in most recipes
    Almond milk · 1:1 ratio — Lighter flavor; may be thinner than whole milk
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 Sprinkling Sugar

    Suggested swaps

    Honey · 3:4 ratio — Use ¾ cup honey per 1 cup sugar; reduce other liquids slightly
    Maple syrup · 3:4 ratio — Use ¾ cup per 1 cup sugar; adds distinctive flavor
  • 1 Sprinkling Cinnamon
  • 1 To taste Butter

    Suggested swaps

    Coconut oil · 1:1 ratio — Works well in baking; adds slight coconut flavor
    Olive oil · 3:4 ratio — Use ¾ cup oil per 1 cup butter; best for savory dishes

Instructions

1

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

2

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.)

3

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.

4

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.
