Base Ingredients
- 600 ml milk (full fat or semi-skimmed) (2 1/2 cups)
- 45 g semolina (1/4 cup / 12 tsp)
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Heat Milk: Pour the milk into a pan and bring it to a boil over medium heat along with the sugar and half of the ground cinnamon. Stir gently to dissolve the sugar and infuse the cinnamon flavor.
- Add Semolina: Gradually add the semolina to the boiling milk while whisking continuously. Continue whisking for about 2 minutes until the pudding thickens slightly and starts to bubble, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Remove from Heat: Take the pan off the heat once the pudding has thickened to your liking and transfer the pudding into a serving bowl or individual bowls.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon over the top or add your choice of jam, fresh fruit, or nuts to enhance flavor and texture before serving.
Notes
- Use a whisk continuously when adding semolina to prevent lumps.
- Full fat milk yields a richer pudding, but semi-skimmed works well for a lighter version.
- You can sweeten further or adjust cinnamon quantity according to taste.
- Serve warm or chilled based on preference.
- Try topping with berries, sliced bananas, chopped nuts, or a spoonful of fruit jam for variation.
