Semolina balls from semolina like in kindergarten

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make semolina balls from semolina like in kindergarten? Prepare your food. Milk of any fat content is suitable, it doesn’t matter. Take an egg of the first category; if added, too large one will make the porridge too liquid. I indicated the minimum amount of sugar, you can increase it for a sweeter version of the meatballs. But, if you plan to serve them with jam or condensed milk, then add as much as indicated. Instead of flour for breading, you can use semolina.

2. STEP 2

   

   Take a saucepan or pan suitable for cooking porridge. It is better if the bottom is thick, so the porridge will not burn. Pour milk into it and add sugar and salt. Stir until they dissolve.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the bowl of milk on low heat and bring it to a boil. I advise you not to leave the stove all this time, otherwise the milk may escape. As soon as the first bubbles appear, pour semolina into the milk in a thin stream and with constant stirring.

4. STEP 4

   

   Keep the heat to low. Take a whisk and, stirring constantly, cook the porridge until thickened, about 5 minutes. A whisk will help prevent the formation of lumps in semolina porridge. It will be very thick, as it should be.

5. STEP 5

   

   Remove the finished porridge from the heat and cool until lukewarm. Beat an egg into it.

6. STEP 6

   

   Stir the porridge well with a whisk. At first it will seem that the egg does not want to combine with the semolina, but then the porridge will become homogeneous and smooth.

7. STEP 7

   

   Make balls from the porridge - round flatbreads like cheesecakes. And roll them in flour. Or semolina, whatever you take.

8. STEP 8

   

   Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Keep the fire low. Place the meatballs on the frying pan. Fry them for a few minutes until golden brown on one side first.

9. STEP 9

   

   Then turn over and fry the other one.

10. STEP 10

    

    Remove the finished meatballs to a plate and serve immediately.

11. STEP 11

    

    Sour cream, condensed milk, jam or preserves, berries and fruits are good additions to them. Bon appetit!

I’ve been looking at a recipe for semolina balls made from semolina for a long time, just like in kindergarten. I was wondering what they tasted like. The composition is simple and affordable, and it turned out to be easy and simple to prepare. On Ekaterina’s advice, I slightly increased the amount of semolina to make the porridge thicker. Immediately after boiling, the porridge began to rapidly thicken, and by the end of cooking it was already difficult to stir it with a whisk. After adding the egg, the mass became more plastic, the consistency is very similar to cheesecake dough. By the way, I recently fried cheesecakes and used a wet spoon to form the mixture and then rolled it in flour. In the same way, I began to form these semolina balls. It turned out just fine, the lumps of dough easily formed into flat cakes. In the frying pan they browned well and a crispy crust appeared. The inside of the meatballs is soft, airy, and very tender. Indeed, you won’t immediately understand what they are made of. Thanks for the interesting recipe for delicious meatballs!

I really liked the semolina recipe from kindergarten. Fast and easy. As for me, the taste is a little missing, next time I’ll add vanilla or cinnamon (I think it won’t be worse). Just right with condensed milk!!!
