Gather @all-purpose flour{100%g}, @whole milk{500%ml} and @ground cinnamon{1%tsp}.

Bring the @sour cream{500%g} to a gentle simmer in a heavy pot, stirring constantly.

Whisk in the flour a spoonful at a time, keeping the mixture simmering and stirring, until the butterfat starts to release and pools on the surface, about 10 minutes. ~{10%minutes}

Spoon off the golden fat that rises and set it aside in a warm cup.

Gradually whisk in the warm milk, a little at a time, until the porridge turns smooth and pourable; simmer 5 minutes more. ~{5%minutes}

Meanwhile, fry the @bacon{150%g} until crisp for serving alongside.

Ladle the porridge into bowls, pool the reserved fat in the center, and dust with cinnamon and @sugar{20%g}.

Serve with the crisp bacon on the side.
