2 bags of semolina, what use are they?

I remember we used to get a semolina pudding (or at least that's what we were told it was

) served with raspberry jam. I have half a bag of semolina in my cupboard, how do I make the pudding? If I remember correctly; it was a long time since I was at school, it was like a pale version of custard.

According to the instructions on the packet of semolina in my cupboard:

2oz semolina
1pt semi-skimmed milk
1oz caster sugar

Preheat oven to Gas 6

Heat semolina and milk in large pan; bring to the boil, stirring continuously

Simmer gently 2 mins or until thickened, stirring to prevent sticking

Remove from heat; stir in sugar

Pour into ovenproof dish and put in oven 30 mins or until lightly browned.

You can also cook it in the microwave:

Put semolina and 2oz milk in large bowl and mix to smooth paste

Add the rest of the milk - cook on full power 5 mins; stir.

Cook for 2 mins; stir again

Cook for 2 mins; add sugar

Leave to stand 2 mins before serving (additional stirring will also be beneficial)

Bet you wish you had my skill in reading Whitworths' packets!!

I make semolina all the time for the kids.
I just follow the instructions given above, but dont bother with the oven bit(waste of leccy!). The school semolina never went in the oven!

You can make a really lovely semolina cake by cooking the semolina as per packet instructions, in milk, let it cool a bit then add a couple of beaten eggs, sugar, sultanas (or any other dried fruit you have in the cupboard) also nuts etc go well with it, then put the mix in a well greased cake tin and bake until it is golden on top - it will be ready when you stick the knife in and it comes out dry-ish.

Sorry for vague instructions but I have always made it on the hoof, without recipe, so I have no idea of exact quantities etc...

It is very nutricious for children because of the eggs and milk and if you put enough sultanas you needn't put a lot of sugar, so you can make it even healthier!

Enjoy!
