Clap Porridge - Klappgröt (Swedish classic)

CLAP PORRIDGE
Klappgröt

This is a very old dessert but it's well-liked by many people even nowadays. I remember being served this when I was in kindergarten and I loved it. These days, when people have beaters and mixers and stuff, it's much easier to beat it until light and really fluffy.

Serves 4

1.6 cup berries, e.g. lingonberries, cranberries,
gooseberries or redcurrants
4 cups water
0.4 to 0.6 cup sugar
0.4 cup semolina
1 tablespoon potato starch
3 to 4 tablespoons water


Rinse and trim the berries. Mash them up with a fork. Boil them in the water, strain the juice and flavor with sugar. Bring the juice to the boil again and beat in the semolina. Let the porridge boil until ready, approx 20 minutes.

Stir the potato starch in cold water and pour the thickening in the porridge while stirring. Let the porridge only just simmer and then let cool slightly. When cooler, beat the porridge until fluffy, preferably with an electric beater. Pour it up and serve when completely cold, in a deep plate with cold milk.

Enjoy!
