Semolina pudding or semolina porridge is a porridge-type pudding made from semolina, which is cooked with milk, or a mixture of milk and water. It is often served with sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, raisins, fruit, or syrup.[1] A similar consistency to rice pudding can also be made by using more semolina and by baking, rather than boiling.

Semolina pudding is somewhat similar to the maize-based grits, and has been eaten in Europe since Roman times. Apicius describes an almond and semolina pudding, made from farina.[2]

Semolina pudding is also for sale as an instant (powdered)[3] or finished convenience food. Cream, vanilla, fruit, spices or artificial flavouring is often added. Some of these products must be prepared with milk or water. If only water is necessary, then powdered milk is an ingredient of the convenience food.

Czech Republic and Slovakia

In the Czech Republic it is called krupičná kaše or krupicová kaše and in Slovakia krupicová kaša. It is served warm, sprinkled with cocoa and sugar, and poured with melted butter. Sometimes other variations and flavours may be used, such as cinnamon, honey, grated chocolate, tuzemák, etc.

Romania

In Romania it is called Griș cu lapte.[4] Jam, candied fruit, cinnamon and raisins may be added. Once cooked, the preparation is poured into a cake pan.[5] It is served warm or cold. The word griș may come from German language Grieß similar to the English grit.[6]
