Ingredients
  

For the Porridge
  • 4 cups Whole Milk For a richer version, substitute with heavy cream.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Acts as a thickening agent.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Balances the richness of the porridge.
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt Enhances the flavors.
For Serving
  • 1/2 cup Salted Butter Melts beautifully over the warm porridge.
  • 1/4 cup Cinnamon-Sugar Sprinkle to finish.

Equipment

  • Heavy-bottomed saucepan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Small saucepan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by pouring whole milk into a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Set the heat to medium and gently warm the milk, stirring continuously until it reaches 195°F.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and kosher salt until combined, then set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan, melt salted butter over low heat until fully melted.
  4. Add the flour mixture to the melted butter once the milk reaches temperature, stirring to form a smooth paste.
  5. Gradually whisk the flour and butter mixture into the heated milk, ensuring there are no clumps.
  6. Increase heat to medium-high and stir until the mixture starts to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes, continuing to stir gently.
  7. Remove from heat, cool slightly, ladle into bowls, drizzle with butter, and sprinkle cinnamon-sugar on top.
