Semolina recipes

Semolina

Semolina is a coarse pale-yellow flour ground from hard durum wheat and used to make traditional pasta. It can also be used to make pizza, bread and biscuit doughs as well as gnocchi. The term also refers to a British milk pudding, in which semolina is cooked slowly in milk and sweetened with sugar. This dish is served topped with a spoonful of honey, jam or fresh or dried fruit.

Buyer's guide

Semolina is not widely available but some supermarkets and health food shops stock coarser varieties (sometimes labelled ‘pudding’ semolina).
