Semolina Porridge, the healthiest food for babies

Semolina porridge is a one of the healthiest food, which most of pediatricians  advice to parents of children  below three years.
Semolina is a purified wheat middlings of durum wheat, which is used for making pastas, breakfast cereals, puddings.

 The word 'semolina' comes from Italian word  'semola',  which means 'flour'.
 An analysis of the major nutrients found in semolina shows that it is high in protein very high in complex carbohydrates and potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium and fibre, also with some iron, zinc manganese and copper.
 Semolina porridge was favorite food of my childhood. Once I have grown up, I started to make it by myself and adding different flavors. So here is my recipe for semolina porridge. 


We need:
  1. 1.5 cup of milk
  2. 0.5 cup of water
  3. 6 tablespoon of semolina 
  4. 3 tablespoon of sugar (you can add more or less)
  5. 50 gram butter
  6. 1/3 teaspoon of salt 

In saucepan mix water and milk, sugar, and wait till it starts to boil.


 Then pour semolina flour with small proportions into saucepan. 
Over medium heat stir the porridge until desired thickness reached. Once it starts to boil, slaw the flame and wait around 5 minutes and close the flame. (Don't forget to stir it all the time). 


Once the porridge is ready, and has a consistence which you like take it from stove. Serve it in a bowl, put some butter inside ( if the butter is salty do not use salt in ingredients ) add a toppings like dry fruit, nuts, fruit preserves, cinnamon or just a fruits.



Have a good appetite
