Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 g Semolina
- 500 ml Whole milk
- 250 ml Water
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 100 g Fresh berries (optional)
- 1 tbsp Honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and water. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching.
Gradually add the semolina to the simmering liquid, whisking continuously. This helps prevent any lumps from forming and ensures a smooth texture.
Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook until the semolina thickens and has a creamy consistency, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Once thickened to your desired consistency, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the butter until fully melted and incorporated.
Serve the porridge hot in bowls. If desired, top with fresh berries and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for added sweetness and flavor.
