Semolina Pudding

Ingredients

• 1 bag milk
• ½ cup semolina flour
• Water
• 50ml Orange blossom water
• ½ cup sugar
• Crushed pistachios (optional)

Steps

• Put a layer of water to cover the bottom of a pot
• Empty the entire bag of milk
• Add half cup of semolina flour and stir in briefly
• Put over high heat stirring frequently or medium heat sitting until it starts to come to a boil
• If consistency is still mostly liquid, add a bit more semolina
• Be careful not to stir too much or semolina flour will clump
• Turn heat down and stir so it doesn’t stick to the bottom
• Add sugar
• Leave on low heat stirring every ~5 minutes until it thickens
• Once thick, drizzle 2-3 capfuls / 50ml of orange blossom water and stir in
• Let sit 5 minutes and then spoon out into serving bowls or ramekins
• Optionally top with crushed pistachios
• Let cool and place in fridge to solidify and thicken
