Ingredients and Preparation

Melt butter in a saucepan and add semolina and roast on low heat, stirring constantly. Continue roasting until semolina turns golden. Melt sugar with water or milk in a separate bowl. Add the prepared syrup to the roasted semolina and stir until it absorbs on low heat. Cover and wait for 5-10 minutes to infuse. Serve hot or cold, garnished with ice cream or peanuts.
