The method

Step by step

1
Pour the milk into a medium saucepan and add the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
About 1 min
2
Heat the milk mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it just begins to simmer.
About 4 min
Cook’s note: Watch carefully to prevent the milk from boiling over.
3
Once simmering, slowly whisk in the semolina in a steady stream to prevent lumps.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Whisking continuously while adding the semolina is key for a smooth pudding.
4
Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes, or until the pudding has thickened to your desired consistency.
About 7 min
Cook’s note: The pudding will thicken further as it cools.
5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and divide the grießbrei into serving bowls.
About 1 min
6
Serve warm, optionally garnished with cinnamon.
Cook’s note: Other popular toppings include fruit compote, fresh berries, or a dollop of applesauce.
