Semolina pudding

01 / ABOUT THE DISH

About the dish

Grießbrei is a traditional Central European pudding based on semolina. The dish is made with milk, semolina, and sugar. It's often flavored with vanilla and cinnamon. The milk is heated, the semolina stirred in, and the mixture is then stirred until it becomes creamy and thick. Most people like to eat semolina pudding for breakfast, and the dish is sometimes enhanced with the addition of fruit such as cherries, strawberries, peaches, pears, or apples. It's recommended to serve it in a shallow bowl since there's more surface area to cover with the desired toppings. The dish is prepared in Germany, Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic.
