Semolina porridge with cinnamon is a classic dish of Russian cuisine that warms the soul and brings back childhood memories. Its history dates back to ancient times when semolina was considered not only nutritious but also a refined grain. The delicate, airy texture of the porridge infused with a milky aroma combines with the light sweetness of sugar and subtle spicy notes of cinnamon. This dish is perfect for a cozy breakfast or evening treat, especially in cold weather. Semolina porridge is often served with a piece of butter that melts on its surface, giving it a special tenderness. The simplicity of preparation makes it accessible even for novice cooks, while the ability to add various toppings—from berries to nuts—turns it into a versatile and multifaceted dessert.
