Cuisine: German
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup semolina
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 apples, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup elderflower syrup
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
- Gradually sprinkle semolina into the warm milk mixture, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Reduce heat to low and continue stirring.
- Cook the semolina pudding for approximately 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth and creamy. The semolina should be fully cooked and have a porridge-like consistency.
- While the pudding is cooking, peel and dice the apples into small, uniform cubes.
- In a separate saucepan, combine the diced apples and elderflower syrup. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until the apples are soft but still retain their shape.
- Once the semolina pudding is ready, remove from heat and let it cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer the warm semolina pudding into serving bowls, creating a smooth, even surface.
- Top each pudding serving with the warm elderflower apple sauce, ensuring an even distribution of apples.
- Serve immediately while still warm, optionally garnishing with a light dusting of cinnamon or additional elderflower syrup if desired.
Tips
- Whisk Continuously: The key to a smooth semolina pudding is constant whisking when adding the semolina to prevent lumps from forming.
- Low and Slow: Cook the pudding on low heat to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
- Consistency is Key: The pudding should have a thick, creamy porridge-like texture. If it's too thick, add a little warm milk to thin it out.
- Fresh is Best: Use fresh, ripe apples for the most vibrant flavor in your elderflower apple sauce.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
- Optional Garnishes: A light dusting of cinnamon or an extra drizzle of elderflower syrup can elevate the dessert's presentation and taste.
