Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer gently. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
Once the cream starts to simmer, gradually whisk in the flour to form a smooth paste. Continue whisking to avoid lumps.
Cook the flour mixture for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the butterfat starts to separate from the mixture. Carefully skim off the excess butterfat using a spoon and set it aside for later use.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly add the whole milk, whisking continually to maintain a smooth consistency.
Continue cooking the mixture for another 10–15 minutes, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens to a creamy texture.
Stir in the salt and granulated sugar, ensuring they are fully dissolved. Remove from heat.
To serve, ladle the rommegrot into individual bowls. Drizzle the reserved butterfat over each serving.
Sprinkle with ground cinnamon and a little extra sugar for garnish. Serve warm and enjoy!
