Semolina casserole is a cozy dish of Russian cuisine that evokes childhood and homely warmth. Its origin is linked to the traditional love for semolina used in porridge and desserts. The delicate texture of the casserole is achieved by soaking the semolina in kefir, making it airy and soft. Sugar adds a light sweetness, while butter enriches the flavor. The casserole is topped with an appetizing golden crust, and its aroma awakens warm memories. It can be served as a standalone dessert or complemented with jam, sour cream, or berries. A great option for breakfast or a light dinner that will beautify the table and delight everyone over a cup of tea.
