This comes from one of the recent cooking magazines. I always have tons of semolina in my kitchen because I use it as the basis for my pasta, and my wife loves to make semolina pudding to remind her of her British childhood.

It keeps well for several days in the refrigerator, although it probably won't last that long. See less
