Ingredients:
- 2 cups fine semolina
- ½ cup flour
- 100g butter
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup chopped nuts (hazelnuts or pine nuts)
- 3 cups milk (for the syrup)
- 1 cup water (for the syrup)
- 2 cups granulated sugar (for the syrup)
- Ice cream, for serving
Instructions:
- Prepare the syrup: In a saucepan, combine milk, water, and sugar. Heat until the sugar dissolves. No need to boil. Keep it warm.
- In a large pan, melt butter with oil. Add semolina and stir constantly until it turns golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add flour and cook until aromatic. Then, stir in nuts until they’re well-roasted and the mixture turns a darker shade.
- Turn off the heat. Gradually incorporate the syrup into the semolina mixture in three batches, stirring continuously until absorbed.
- Turn the heat to low and cook, folding the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. For a softer texture, cook for 3-4 minutes. For a grainier texture, let it sit covered after adding the syrup.
- Serve warm with a scoop of your favorite ice cream on top.
