Nailed It!
Rømmegrøt, also known as rømmegraut is a porridge eaten in Norway. It is traditionally made with sour cream (rømme in Norwegian) and can be served as a main dish with cured meat (like ham) and Norwegian flat bread.
***Apparently what this recipe makes is actually called fløyelsgrøt, which translates to “milk mush/porridge”. Real rømmegrøt is made with cream or sour cream, but in the Scandinavean areas in rural Minnesota/North Dakota, this rendition seems to be accepted as rømmegrøt.
My dad who has a strong Norwegian heritage grew up eating rømmegrøt, so when I saw there was an easy recipe to make in the microwave, I had to try it! It was a huge success and he said it was just like his grandma used to make and was surprised you could use milk instead of cream! Mine turned out a little bit lumpy but it didn’t bother anyone. My kids even gobbled it up!
*4 cups milk
*1 cup butter
*1 cup flour
*1⁄4 cup sugar (or to taste)
*3⁄4 teaspoon salt (or to taste…I only did a little dash)
