Ingredients
The quantities follow this count.
How to cook it
-
Bring the milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to a gentle boil in a saucepan, stirring so the milk does not catch on the bottom.
-
Slowly whisk in the semolina in a steady stream to keep it from clumping.
-
Lower the heat and cook, stirring often, for 4 to 5 minutes, until thick and creamy.
-
Stir in the butter until melted and glossy.
-
Spoon into bowls, dust generously with the cinnamon sugar, and serve warm; the German child's breakfast, and a different box entirely from a bowl of Haferbrei.
