Creamy Semolina Cinnamon (Printable Recipe Version)
Smooth semolina pudding with cinnamon, ready fast, brings back your childhood, and you can switch it up easily.
# Ingredients You’ll Need:
→ Main basics
01 -
1-2 tsp ground cinnamon (Ceylon if you can get it)
02 -
1 pinch salt
03 -
3-4 tbsp sugar, or swap for honey or maple syrup if you want
04 -
100 g fine semolina (wheat)
05 -
1 liter whole milk or a plant-based milk alternative
→ Add-ons
06 -
1 handful chopped nuts or dried fruit
07 -
1 tsp vanilla extract or the seeds scraped from a vanilla pod
# Steps to Make It:
01 -
Take your pot off the stove. Stir in the salt and sugar. Spoon the porridge into bowls, load it up with cinnamon, and top with nuts or dried fruits if you’re into that.
02 -
Keep everything moving with a spoon while it cooks for 5–7 minutes on low, until it thickens up nicely. It'll get a bit firmer as it cools.
03 -
Turn the heat down a bit. Grab a whisk and slowly shake in the semolina while you keep stirring nonstop so you don’t get any lumps.
04 -
Put the milk in a medium pot with a heavy bottom and heat it gently over medium, watching for tiny bubbles at the edge. If you feel like it, add vanilla extract or the scrapes from a pod now.
05 -
Measure everything ahead of time and put it all out so you’re not scrambling later.
# Extra Information:
01 -
If you need to avoid dairy, oat, almond, or soy milk totally work here. Using top-quality milk and semolina (go organic if you can) really bumps up the flavor.
02 -
To get things super creamy, add the semolina to the milk real slow and keep stirring the whole time.
03 -
Dumping cinnamon on top of each bowl right after serving really makes the flavor pop.
