Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tbsps. water
- 4 tbsps. semolina
- 1 tbsp. sugar
- a pinch of salt
- 1 tsp. unsalted butter
- raisins, fruits, berries and jam of your choice (optional)
Instructions
- Pour water into a pot and let it boil. We add water to the pot to prevent porridge from burning/sticking. It should be not more than 2-3 tablespoons (two more ways can help you with this problem, to learn them scroll the recipe to the end of the page).
- When the water boils, pour the whole amount of milk into the pot. Add sugar and salt. Boil milk but, bear in mind, that you should constantly stir milk with a spatula. Do not leave milk out of your sight!
- If you have milk boiling on high heat, lower it down. Add semolina slowly to the pot while constantly and rapidly stirring.
- Keep cooking semolina for 5 minutes straight, continuously stirring porridge in the pot.
- Do not worry if the porridge is still a bit watery. It will start thickening as it cools down.
- Take the pot from the heat and add butter.
- Cover porridge with a lid and let it rest, at least, for 10 minutes before serving. Even now, I stir it from time to time to prevent the forming of the crust on the top of the porridge.
- Serve with your favorite type of fruit, berries, and jam! Enjoy your breakfast!
