Hi Barbara,

This recipe looks like it will turn out similar to the one you're looking for. I can't tell from the photo if there's a top layer of dough. If there is, you could try doubling the base and adding a top layer before baking. I think Rommegrot is similar to the custard filling in this recipe. Let us know if you try it!

Happy Baking,

Betsy
