Instructions

Wash your rice until the water is clear then take to the pot with the water and heat up. Let cook, add salt and bring to a boil.
1 cup Short Grain Rice, 1 cup Water, ½ Teaspoon Salt
Then add all the milk to the rice and sugar if you make it sweet. Mix well and simmer slowly for 20–40 minutes. Remember, the longer you let it cook slowly on the heat, the better the Norwegian porridge will turn out. Make sure to stir occasionally so that the content doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. The porridge will slowly thicken while it is simmering.
5 cups Milk, 2 Tablespoon Sugar
The porridge is ready when it has thickened, turned very creamy and when the rice is properly well cooked and soft.
Then add some hot porridge into a bowl, sprinkle some cinnamon on it and add the butter into the center of the bowl on the porridge. Then you just need to make the whole contend and enjoy your homemade Risengrynsgrøt!
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon Ground, 1 dollop Tablespoon Butter

Notes

This will make a bigger batch, which I think comes handy. Just eat what you can and want, and then store the rest in an airtight container in the fridge. Take it out whenever you want and heat it up. Makes a great breakfast meal after a workout!
