Ingredients
- 500 ml Milk
- 50 g Semolina (fine wheat)
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
- 100 g Fresh fruit or fruit compote (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized pot, heat the milk over medium heat until it just starts to steam. Stir occasionally to prevent it from scorching.
Step 2
Once the milk begins to steam, reduce the heat to low and slowly sprinkle in the semolina while continuously whisking to avoid clumping.
Step 3
Add the sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Continue to whisk to ensure everything is well combined.
Step 4
Simmer the semolina mixture on low heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a creamy pudding-like consistency.
Step 5
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the butter until it has melted and fully incorporated into the pudding.
Step 6
Allow the pudding to cool for a minute or two. As it cools, it will thicken further.
Step 7
Serve the semolina pudding warm or at room temperature. Optionally, sprinkle with ground cinnamon and top with fresh fruit or fruit compote for added flavor.
