Flauelsgrautur

Velvety smooth milk groats

I found the recipe here in a book about traditional Icelandic everyday cooking in a new look , which I recently bought in the second-hand shop here in Selfoss.

A very exciting book, for my taste - and I actually found this recipe for "velvet-soft milk porridge" extremely tasty, maybe not exactly exciting, but for me personally it was soul food, especially on these first uncomfortable days of autumn...

Ingredients for 4 (small) portions

1 liter of milk

100 g butter

100 g flour

1 tsp salt

sugar cinnamon

Milk, juice or similar

Preparation

Bring the milk to the boil in a pot.

Melt the butter in a second, large pot.

Stir the flour into the melted butter.

Then add the hot milk in portions, stirring constantly.

Salt the porridge and let it cook for a few minutes while stirring.

Then serve the warm groats with sugar cinnamon and a little cold milk, juice or similar.

Bon appetit!
