Spicy Semolina Slices – Golden Brown, Savory & Simply Good
Ingredients
- 750mlMilk (3.8% fat)
- 1.5TLsalt
- 7.5g Butter
- 225gSemolina
- 38gFlour

Here’s how it’s done – step by step:
Get the milk going:
Measure the milk, pour it into a pot with a heavy bottom. Add salt and butter – this adds flavor and taste.
Mix dry ingredients:
Combine semolina and flour well in a bowl.
Now it gets creamy:
Warm the milk until it's lukewarm (do not boil!), remove the pot from the stove briefly and whisk in the semolina-flour mixture. No lumps allowed!
Boil & Stir:
Return to the stove and bring to a boil while stirring constantly. Then reduce the heat and continue stirring with a cooking spoon until the mixture pulls away from the bottom of the pot – this takes about 5–10 minutes.
Final touch:
Remove from the stove, let it swell briefly. Then stir in the egg and a pinch of nutmeg. Your basic dough is ready!
🧊 Shaping it – here's how:
Option 1: Classic smooth
- Rinse a wet cutting board or a plate with cold water.
- Spread the semolina mixture about 1 cm thick using a wet knife and smooth it out.
Option 2: The Rolling Method
- Let the mixture cool down slightly, then with damp hands shape it into a thick roll.
- Wrap in foil and refrigerate – perfect for meal prep!
Option 3: Beautiful Shape
- Rinse a cold cake or freezer mold with water, fill with semolina mixture, smooth out, and let cool.
🔥 Time to sizzle:
- Cut the cooled mixture into slices or pieces – whether round, square, or creative is up to you!
- Coat a pan with some oil, heat it, then melt a piece of butter in it.
- Fry the semolina slices on both sides until golden brown. Keep warm until all are ready.
🍽 Serving ideas – savor the flavor!
- With fresh salad and vinaigrette
- With vegetables in tomato sauce, topped with grated cheese
- As a side dish to pan-seared meat with gravy
- Or simply plain with some herb quark – delicious!
Tip: The semolina slices can be prepared well in advance and fried fresh the next day. This turns a simple recipe into a true all-rounder!
