Rommegraut (Sour Cream Porridge) serves 6

I know - this is not a cheese, but so far on this blog it is sometimes difficult do distinguish what really is... Take Norwegian brown cheese and Prim - they are both made from heath-reducing whey (we'll come back to this later) But now - ROMMEGRAUT.

Sour cream porridge with dried meats was festive food in the olden days and is still considered that today.

• 4 dl (1 2/3 cups) 35 percent fat sour cream
• about 3 dl (1 1/4 cups) flour
• about 1 1/4 liters (5 cups) full fat milk
• 3/4 teaspoon salt

Sour cream porridge must be made from high fat (35%) natural sour cream, with no stabilizers or gelatin added. For the best results, use homemade sour cream. Heat 2 1/2 dl (1 cup) whipping cream to 35 C (95 F), almost body temperature, then whisk in 2 tablespoons buttermilk. Let stand at room temperature at least 8 hours, until thickened.

Simmer sour cream, covered, about 15 minutes.

Sift over 1/3 of the flour. Simmer until the butterfat begins to leach out. Skim off the fat.

Sift over the remaining flour and bring to a boil. Bring the milk to a boil and thin the porridge to desired consistency. Whisk until smooth. Simmer about 10 minutes, and season with salt. Serve with the fat, sugar and cinnamon.
