Rømmegrøt: A Creamy, Traditional Norwegian Porridge

Rømmegrøt is a comforting, creamy Norwegian porridge made with simple ingredients that come together to create a rich, flavorful dish. The base is made from sour cream, whole milk, and flour, giving it a velvety texture and a tangy richness. Traditionally served with a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar, and often accompanied by a pat of butter, this porridge is the perfect dish for cold mornings or when you're craving something cozy. It’s great as a breakfast or a light dessert. You can substitute the sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangier flavor, or use a dairy-free option like coconut milk for a vegan version.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup sour cream
  
  

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Directions

1. In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together the sour cream and flour over medium heat until smooth and well combined.

4. Once the porridge is thickened, remove from heat and pour into serving bowls.
