How to cook semolina with milk to get the best porridge in the world - tasty, aromatic, simply delicious? There are several tricks to preparing this simple dish, as well as many recipes - ordinary and with a twist.
We all come from childhood. And if today you are still looking for a recipe for that porridge that is “like in kindergarten,” it means that you were fed the right semolina porridge there. If, when you hear the word “semolina,” you remember a liquid, slimy mass full of uncooked lumps, this indicates that something went wrong with your porridge...
To avoid lumps, it must be brewed correctly. Remember your physics lessons: particles of a surface substance, instantly getting wet, stop giving liquid movement into the grains. And the fine grain of semolina just leads to the fact that the grains are “cooked” into one lump; boiling water speeds up the process. Knowing the mechanism of clumping, it’s easy to guess: to avoid lumps, you need to either pour semolina into cold or warm liquid and stir little by little, or pour it, as cookbooks advise, in a thin stream into boiling water, stirring constantly, better forming a funnel of milk in the saucepan.
What proportions should be maintained to prepare the ideal milk porridge?
The thickness of the porridge depends on the proportion of milk and cereal. To prepare medium-thick porridge, you usually take 6 tbsp. spoons of cereal per 1 liter of milk. Salt and sugar are added to taste. If you need a thinner porridge, you can add milk.
Old soviet recipe advises to cook the porridge for 10-15 minutes, stirring continuously until it thickens. And add salt and sugar after turning off the heat, just like butter.
How long does it take to cook semolina? Cooking time may also vary. Some cook literally a couple of minutes after boiling, but classic semolina porridge is usually boiled over low heat for 5-7 minutes from the moment of boiling.
If you want to get a taste more or less close to the porridge of your childhood from kindergarten, then you need time, and not at all spent at the stove with a stirrer. Just long cooking kills everything useful and turns any food into an incomprehensible mess. The secret of kindergarten porridge is in the food warmers. Food warmers are special pans that can be double-walled to retain heat or electrically heated. Everyone has seen such rectangular pans in any dining room, but we don’t have them at home. Therefore, the issue can be resolved simply by reproach.
The “pot” itself will finish cooking its contents. And if you cook semolina porridge with baked milk (including ready-made milk from the store), then the taste will be even more similar to the porridge from childhood.
Important: If you are afraid that the milk in the pan may burn, before pouring milk into it to boil, pour a little plain water to wet the bottom. This will prevent the product from burning.
A multicooker, this miracle of modern technology, will save you from having to stand at the stove waiting for the milk to “run” or the porridge to start burning. To prepare milk semolina porridge, you need a multicooker of any brand with a power of at least 860 W. Next, pour all the ingredients into the bowl and mix with a wooden or silicone spatula. Water in this recipe It is given for making porridge for babies, but for older children and all others, milk is poured instead of water.
Next, the multicooker is set to the appropriate program - for example, the Philips multicooker has a program called “Porridge”, Polaris has the “Multicook” program, etc. Having set the desired time, set the temperature to 90 degrees (if the program itself does not program the time and temperature conditions).
When the time is up, you will receive the freshest and delicious porridge. It may seem that the porridge is a bit runny. But as it cools, it thickens, and besides, a slightly runny porridge will be just right for kids.
Recipe in ten minutes.

Next, pour the resulting mixture into two plates and microwave both for five minutes. When the time is up, stir the porridge again and cook for another 5 minutes. The porridge is ready. All that remains is to serve it with raisins, jam, chopped fruit or other flavoring additives.
It happens that there is no milk in the refrigerator or it suddenly curdled. What to do? It's good if you have a supply of powdered milk. With it, semolina porridge turns out no worse than from a whole product.
Special semolina porridge should be prepared only for very small children. The rest of the children can easily eat regular porridge, except perhaps cooked with diluted milk, if the milk is too fatty.
For small children, the porridge is cooked a little differently. They begin to give semolina as complementary food from six months. First, the cereal is boiled in water so as not to spoil the milk by excessive boiling, and the milk is poured into the almost finished cereal. Sugar should be added to boiling porridge, but salt should be added only after the cereal is ready. Oil is also added after cooking, without heating it again. Baby porridge is flavored butter, which contains vitamins A and D.
In ancient cookbooks there are recipes for making semolina porridge without milk. It is not as tasty as milk milk, therefore, taking care of reducing calorie content, it is still better to dilute the milk with water at least in half. But for dietary fans or people fasting, there is a recipe for semolina porridge with water. It can be eaten with raisins, fruits, jam and other additives; without them it will be empty and tasteless.
Cooking such semolina is not fundamentally different from how to cook porridge with milk.
Important: For this porridge, you can only use the freshest grains. The slightest rancidity will ruin the whole thing.
The famous “professor of cabbage soup,” as he was called during his lifetime, a passionate admirer of cooking and its expert William Pokhlebkin, describing semolina porridge on water in his culinary work, brought another unusual recipe cooking semolina porridge. This porridge is very unusual for those who know traditional semolina. Its essence is in the preliminary frying of cereals.
The porridge turns out to be more like a side dish, although it can be eaten with jam or other sweet additives. However, Master Pokhlebkin himself recommended eating this porridge with fried onions, or mushrooms, or something else similar that you like.
