Ingredients
  

  • 1 quart whole milk Full-fat milk for creamy texture
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour For thickening the porridge
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar Adds sweetness
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt Enhances flavor
  • ½ cup salted butter Adds richness, plus extra for topping
  • cinnamon-sugar For sprinkling on top

Equipment

  • 1 Large heavy-bottomed saucepan Used for heating milk, ensures even heat distribution and prevents burning.
  • 1 Kitchen thermometer For monitoring milk temperature to achieve the right texture.
  • 1 Small saucepan Used for gently melting the butter.
  • 1 Small bowl For mixing dry ingredients.
  • 1 Sturdy spoon or whisk For constant stirring to prevent burning and ensure smooth consistency.

Method
 

  1. Set a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat and heat the milk to 195°F, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then remove from heat once fully melted.
  4. Once the milk has reached 195°F, slowly stir the flour mixture into the melted butter to form a thick paste. Then add this mixture to the milk, stirring constantly until it begins to boil. Once it boils, reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 5 more minutes, stirring regularly. The porridge should thicken to a pudding-like consistency.
  5. Remove the saucepan from heat and spoon the porridge into individual bowls. Drizzle with warm melted butter and top with a generous sprinkle of cinnamon-sugar. Serve immediately.
