Ingredients
  

  • 1 l milk
  • semolina100 g semolina
  • 5 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt just a pinch
  • jam6 tsp jam cherry or strawberry recommended, or your favorite

Instructions
 

  • Pour the milk into a medium-sized pot and place it over medium heat. Add the sugar and a pinch of salt, stirring occasionally to dissolve.
  • Once the milk begins to simmer, gradually sprinkle in the semolina while continuously whisking. This step prevents lumps from forming and ensures a smooth texture.
  • Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring as the mixture thickens. Allow it to simmer gently for 15–20 minutes, ensuring the semolina is fully cooked and creamy.
  • Once cooked, pour the semolina pudding into serving dishes—small bowls, glasses, or even ice cream cups work well. Let the pudding cool to room temperature.
  • Before serving, top each portion with a teaspoon (or more!) of your favorite jam. Sour cherry and strawberry jam are traditional favorites, but feel free to use what you have at hand.
