Semolina fritters are a cozy memory of childhood and the traditions of Russian cuisine. Tender, airy, with a golden crust, they pair perfectly with sour cream or jam. The history of this dish goes back to ancient village recipes when housewives sought to use simple and accessible ingredients for maximum benefit. Semolina gives the fritters softness, while butter adds a rich flavor. They can be served as a standalone dish or combined with fruits, honey, or condensed milk. Fritters make a wonderful breakfast or light dessert that provides a pleasant feeling of fullness and warmth. Prepared in a pan or oven, they retain their tenderness and appetizing aroma.
