Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams semolina
- 1 liters whole milk
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 20 grams butter
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, pour in the whole milk and place it over medium heat.
Add a pinch of salt to the milk and stir briefly.
As the milk begins to warm, add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, stirring until the sugar completely dissolves.
Bring the milk slowly to a gentle simmer, making sure it does not come to a boil.
Once the milk is simmering, gradually sprinkle the semolina into the pot while whisking continuously to prevent any lumps from forming.
Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes, or until the semolina has absorbed the milk and the mixture has thickened.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter until it is fully melted and integrated, adding a smooth and silky texture to the mixture.
Divide the semoule au lait into serving bowls or ramekins.
Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top of each serving for an additional layer of flavor.
Serve warm for the most comforting experience, or let it cool and serve chilled as a refreshing dessert option.
