Rømmegrøt (Sour Cream Porridge)

Rømmegrøt is a Norwegian sour cream porridge that has been made for centuries. It is simply sour cream heated up, whisked with flour, sugar, and hot milk. The porridge is topped with butter, more sugar, and cinnamon; served with raspberry juice, cured meats, and flatbread. This is a dairy overload and not for the lactose intolerant.
