Semolina porridge with jam

Milk

Pour the milk into a pot, add the sugar and a pinch of salt and set it over medium heat.

Rinse the bottom of the pot with cold water before pouring in the milk — it sticks and scorches far less.

Heating

Heat the milk, stirring, until small bubbles appear around the edge.

Milk boils over in an instant. Do not leave the hob while the pot is on it.

Semolina

Turn the heat right down. Trickle the semolina in with one hand while you whisk non-stop with the other — that is what stops lumps forming.

Boiling

Cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the porridge thickens and the whisk leaves a trail. Turn off the hob.

Serving

Drop in the butter, cover and let it stand for 2 minutes. Spoon into a bowl and swirl the jam over the top. Enjoy!
