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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Once the cream starts to simmer, gradually whisk in the flour to form a smooth paste. Continue whisking to avoid lumps.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and slowly add the whole milk, whisking continually to maintain a smooth consistency.
Step 5
Continue cooking the mixture for another 10–15 minutes, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens to a creamy texture.
Step 6
Stir in the salt and granulated sugar, ensuring they are fully dissolved. Remove from heat.
Step 7
To serve, ladle the rommegrot into individual bowls. Drizzle the reserved butterfat over each serving.
Step 8
Sprinkle with ground cinnamon and a little extra sugar for garnish. Serve warm and enjoy!
