It is the sticky properties of the cooked rice that does the trick. <br /><br />The porridge is especially popular around Christmas and in some homes it is the traditional breakfast on Christmas eve, spiced with sugar and ground cinnamon on top. The porridge itself is however available in stores ready cooked all year round.<br /><br />Traditionally you also put a serving of rice porridge ("Julgröt") outside on the doorstep for the house gnome ("Hustomte") on Christmas night. <br />http://www.barnbokhandeln.com/img/p/3262-3420-large.jpg<br /><br />Julgröt<br />http://recept.nu/1.118748?search=true&searchString=Tradtitionell+julgr%C3%B6t&rcp_recipeCategory=&rcp_kitchenCategory=&rcp_themeCategory=&rcp_mainIngredientCategory=&rcp_tvShowCategory=&rcp_chef=<br /><br />Med vänliga hälsningar/AndersAndershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15488003592979736658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708668459683151430.post-83525357209851897422009-10-15T10:32:59.627+02:002009-10-15T10:32:59.627+02:00Hi Anders,

I'll have to add it to my list of things to make and post here.<br /><br />Men vad är grötris?<br /><br />Hmm your message has just reminded me to hand in a Swedish translation I have due today. Thanks for that...

There are actually two varieties of it, stemming from two different regions in Sweden.<br /><br />Personally I like some bitter almond in there to complement the sweet ones.<br /><br />Being from Gotland however, I hold Saffranspannkaka as a similar, but superior alternative. http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saffranspannkaka<br />http://www.pannkakor.se/saffranspannkaka<br /><br />Cheers!/Anders<br /><br />P.S.<br />Nice pics!Andershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15488003592979736658noreply@blogger.com
