My kids love this simple, tasty, nourishing pudding. I do too. Ingredients:
1 1/2 liters whole milk |
1 1/2-2 cups sugar |
6 tablespoons butter |
1 cup semolina |
4 extra large eggs |
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. Butter a 15 X 13 inch baking pan generously and sprinkle with a generous amount of semolina to coat (the way you would flour a pan).
3. In a large pot, scald milk with 1 1/2 cups of sugar.
4. Taste the milk to see how sweet it is.
5. If you want it sweeter, add up to 1/2 cup more sugar.
6. Add butter.
7. When butter has melted, add semolina in a thin stream, whisking constantly.
8. Bring to the boil and lower heat so that it dosn t boil too quickly, whisking all the time.
9. It will thicken quickly.
10. Once thick, remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes.
11. Quickly whisk in eggs and keep whisking to incorporate them without curdling them.
12. Add vanilla extract.
13. Pour into prepared pan and bake for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until top of custard is flecked with golden-brown patches.
14. Remove, dust with cinnamon, and cool.
15. Note: This is a very plain pudding, and good in its plain-ness. If you want a little flavour boost, stir in some freshly-grated lemon zest to the custard just before baking.
