Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup fine semolina
  • 4 cups whole milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup sugar (adjust to taste, or substitute with honey or maple syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the Milk: Begin by warming the milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Heating gently prevents lumps and prepares a creamy base.
  2. Add Sugar and Vanilla: Once the milk is warm, stir in the sugar and vanilla extract to evenly distribute sweet and fragrant flavors.
  3. Slowly Incorporate Semolina: Gradually sprinkle the semolina into the milk mixture while continuously whisking to avoid clumps. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Simmer and Thicken: Reduce the heat to low and let the pudding gently simmer, stirring often. The semolina will swell and create a silky texture.
  5. Finish with Butter and Serve: Remove the pudding from heat and stir in a small knob of butter for extra richness. Serve warm or chilled based on preference.

Notes

  • Stir constantly while adding semolina to prevent lumps.
  • Use fine semolina for the smoothest texture.
  • Warm the milk and add vanilla before semolina for better flavor infusion.
  • Taste before serving and adjust sugar if needed.
  • For firmer pudding, cook a few minutes longer; for softer, cook less.
