Recipe

Ingredients for 2 portions:

Half a liter of whole milk
5 tablespoons of semolina (50 grams – 1.75 ounces)
2 tablespoons of sugar
Pinch of salt
1 sachet of vanilla flavored sugar or 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Ground cinnamon, cocoa powder, jam or fruits

Directions:

Heat the milk gently in a saucepan on a medium heat until it is just beyond body temperature. This will speed up the cooking process.

Put the semolina, the sugar, the vanilla sugar or extract and a pinch of salt into the milk and using a spoon gently stir the milk and semolina continuously. Keep the saucepan over the heat but turn it down slightly. Keep on stirring, bring it to a boil and simmer it with constant stirring over a low heat until the semolina pudding thickens, this usually takes about 3-5 minutes.

Pour the semolina pudding into bowls and sprinkle with ground cinnamon, cocoa powder or put jam or fruits on top.

Enjoy!
