  4. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the melted butter, mixing until a smooth paste forms.
  5. Slowly add the butter-flour paste to the heated milk, whisking continuously until thickened and boiling.
  6. Reduce heat to low and let the Rømmegrøt simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  7. Ladle Rømmegrøt into warm bowls, drizzle with melted butter, and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar to taste.
