Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 grams semolina
- 500 milliliters milk
- 100 milliliters water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon butter
- ground cinnamon or fresh fruit (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, water, and a pinch of salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to steam but does not boil.
Gradually sprinkle the semolina into the saucepan while constantly whisking to prevent lumps from forming.
Reduce the heat to low and continue to stir to keep the semolina from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Cook the mixture for 4–6 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Stir in the sugar, vanilla extract, and butter until fully incorporated and the porridge is smooth and creamy.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the porridge cool for 1–2 minutes before serving.
Serve the semolina porridge warm. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or fresh fruit for added flavor and texture.
