Try the Norwegian traditional Rice Porridge this Christmas- combined with sugar, cinnamon and butter this is the perfect Christmas treat!
Rice Porridge is served all year with different condiments – during summer it’s usually served with cured meats and Norwegian flat bread and during Christmas it’s served alone. Remember to use any left overs for the Danish “Ris alamande” or the Norwegian “Riskrem”

Hi Therese, Please, forgive me if this was asked before but what is dl means in recipe measurement? 😊😌. Happy Holidays to You and Yours 😉🙂 PS: I just love the snow falling on your website. Very cozy and calming!

No worries- dl is short for decilitre, which is the way we measure here instead of cups! You can easily convert both using google :) I’ve been thinking about having a converter on my site for a long time now, so perhaps I have to get around to it! :) And thank you- it is indeed very cozy 😄 Happy holidays to you too! Thanks for reaching out!
