Method

  1. Pour the milk1 into a saucepan, add salt and sugar, and heat almost to a boil.

  2. Whisk in the semolina2 in a thin, steady stream while stirring constantly.

  3. Simmer for 4–5 minutes over low heat until the porridge thickens.

  4. Stir in the butter5 until the pudding is smooth.

  5. Serve in a bowl with jam.

Tips

Why it works
Pour the semolina in a thin stream so it spreads evenly in the milk and doesn't clump on contact with the hot pan. Stir constantly, or lumps will form even with a thin stream.
Substitutions
Replace the 2.5% milk with 2.5% kefir for a thicker porridge. Instead of jam, add 20 g of honey or fruit jam, dissolved in a spoonful of hot porridge.
Common mistakes
The porridge can stay runny if you cook it over too high a heat. Check the thickness after 3 minutes: it should slightly pull away from the sides of the pot.
Storing and reheating
Keep in the fridge for no more than 2 days. Reheat in a water bath or in the microwave for 30 seconds, adding 10 ml of water to loosen it.
Serve with
Serve with tea or dried fruit compote for breakfast, especially if your child has no appetite.
