INGREDIENTS
4 cups of Milk
2 cups Semolina
1/2 cup Golden Caster Sugar
1/4 cup unsalted Butter
1 cup + 2 teaspoons Double Cream
Butter to coat the oven tray
2 cups Syrup
OR Cherry / Strawberry Jam, to your taste
METHOD
Heat the milk gently in a large saucepan on medium heat until it’s just beyond body temperature. This will speed up the cooking process.
Pour the semolina into the milk and using a metal whisk gently stir the milk and semolina continuously. Keep the saucepan over the heat and keep on stirring until the semolina pudding thickens and begins to bubble. It should take approximately 7 minutes or so.
Stir in the sugar, double cream, and the vanilla extract. You can immediately serve this pudding OR you can pour the contents of the saucepan into a greased heavy baking dish. Then bake the pudding in the oven for 20 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius (fan oven). This creates the magic, caramelized skin on top which is prized in our family.
Pour the syrup over the baked semolina pudding while still hot. Sprinkle with caster sugar and serve hot or cold.
OR Serve with Jam of your choice.
