Semolina Porridge
Semolina Porridge is a family-favorite hot breakfast cereal, similar to cream of wheat. We call it "Mannaya Kasha" in Ukraine and it's one of the easiest ways to use up milk in abundance. This creamy wheat cereal is loved by all and will leave your belly feeling oh-so-good!
Equipment
- 1 medium 3-quart pot
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1 cup water
- 5 cups milk
- 3/4 cup heaping of semolina , (Manna)
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 2 1/2 Tbsp organic cane sugar
- 113 grams unsalted butter , (1 stick, divided)
Instructions
Directions:
- In a medium pot bring 1 cup of water to a boil, (this helps the milk not to scorch).
- Add the milk and bring it to almost a boil.
- Once the milk starts foaming and gets very hot add the salt, sugar, and 5 Tbsp of butter and let it melt.
- Whisk in the semolina and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer over low for 2-3 minutes until thick and creamy. Stir occasionally.
- Turn off the heat and ladle hot mixture into bowls. Slice up the remaining 3 tbsp of butter and pat slices of butter over the top of the hot semolina. Serve.
Notes
Notes:
- Gradually whisk the semolina into the hot milk so it doesn't clump up.
- Boiling the water first helps the milk not to scorch.
- Serve immediately as it thickens the longer it sits in the pot. We like our farina on the creamy and soupy side so I ladle it into bowls right away.
