Ingredients
- 100 g Semolina
- 500 ml Whole milk
- 250 ml Water
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 100 g Fresh berries (optional)
- 1 tbsp Honey or maple syrup (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and water. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching.
Step 2
Gradually add the semolina to the simmering liquid, whisking continuously. This helps prevent any lumps from forming and ensures a smooth texture.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook until the semolina thickens and has a creamy consistency, about 10 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 5
Once thickened to your desired consistency, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the butter until fully melted and incorporated.
Step 6
Serve the porridge hot in bowls. If desired, top with fresh berries and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for added sweetness and flavor.
