Step-by-Step Instructions for Rømmegrøt
  1. In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour in the whole milk and heat until it reaches 195°F.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and kosher salt until combined.
  3. In a small saucepan, melt the salted butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  4. Once melted, stir the flour mixture into the butter to form a thick paste.
  5. Carefully add the butter-flour paste to the heated milk, stirring constantly until it begins to boil.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and let the rømmegrøt simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  7. Remove from heat, pour into bowls, drizzle with melted butter, and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar before serving.
