Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Milk

Begin by *bringing the milk to a boil* in a saucepan. Once it reaches a boil, immediately reduce the heat to the lowest setting. If foam forms on the surface, remove it carefully. Add a pinch of *salt* to enhance the flavor.

At this stage, you can also add a sweetener or sugar if you prefer a sweeter taste.

Step 2

Mix in the Semolina

Gradually add the *semolina* while continuously stirring the mixture. This will help prevent lumps from forming. Cook for about *3 minutes*, stirring occasionally to ensure it cooks evenly over the low heat.

Step 3

Let it Rest

After the semolina has cooked, turn off the heat, cover the saucepan, and let the porridge *sit for 5 minutes*. This resting period allows the flavors to meld and the texture to set perfectly.

Step 4

Serve and Enjoy

When ready to serve, you can add delightful toppings such as *honey*, *jam*, or fresh *berries* to enhance your porridge. Feel free to sprinkle some *nuts* on top for added crunch and flavor.

Enjoy your *delicious semolina porridge* as a nutritious breakfast option!
