Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup semolina
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Optional toppings (cinnamon, honey, fresh fruits)
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
- Once the milk is simmering, gradually whisk in the semolina, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to whisk constantly as the mixture thickens, which should take about 5 minutes.
- Once the pudding reaches a smooth and creamy consistency, remove it from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
- Pour the pudding into serving bowls or individual ramekins. Let it cool for a few minutes before transferring it to the refrigerator to chill, if desired.
- Serve the semolina pudding warm or cold, topped with your choice of cinnamon, honey, or fresh fruits for added flavor and presentation.
Extra Tips:
Make sure to whisk continuously when adding the semolina to prevent clumping. If you prefer a richer flavor, consider using whole milk or adding a splash of cream. This pudding can also be flavored with other extracts, such as almond or coconut, for a unique twist.
Enjoy experimenting with different toppings to make this classic dessert your own!
