Instructions
Instructions:
Heat a very large saucepan on high heat. Add and melt the butter, semolina, and nuts. Stir until semolina is roasted, about 10 minutes.
Heat a separate saucepan, add the milk and sugar, stir to dissolve, and bring to a boil.
Add the boiled milk to the semolina mix, stir to evenly combine, and cover. Reduce to medium high heat and cook for 3 minutes. Reduce to medium heat and cook until the milk is absorbed, approximately another 3 minutes. Stir the mixture well, and cook on very low heat for 10 more minutes.
Remove the cooked semolina to a large bowl and fluff with a fork. If desired, mix in flavorings (e.g., small spoon of nutella or a drop of lemon extract or a drop of almond extract, etc). Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
