Ingredients
Liquids
- 1/2 cup water
- 2.5 cups milk (at room temperature)
Spices
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (preferably a cinnamon stick)
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup semolina
- 2 tsp butter
- 2 tsp honey (or any other sweetener to taste)
Instructions
- Boil Water with Cinnamon: Add water to a small saucepan along with the cinnamon stick and bring it to a boil. This step infuses the water with cinnamon flavor.
- Add Milk and Semolina: Pour the milk into the boiling water to moderate the temperature. Slowly add the semolina while stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
- Simmer Porridge: Gently simmer the mixture, stirring frequently to avoid sticking, until the semolina is tender and the porridge achieves a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Add Butter and Adjust Consistency: Stir in the butter and continue to simmer until the porridge thickens to your desired consistency.
- Serve and Sweeten: Serve the porridge hot, topped with fresh fruits if desired, and drizzle with honey or your preferred sweetener for added flavor.
Notes
- Stir constantly when adding semolina to prevent lumps.
- Use room temperature milk to avoid sudden temperature shifts which can cause lumps.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup or another sweetener of your choice.
- Top the porridge with fresh fruits like berries, banana slices, or apple for additional nutrients and flavor.
- Adjust the amount of milk or water to achieve desired porridge thickness.
