Ingredients
- 300 g Milk, whole

Method
- Pour the milk into a wide ovenproof skillet and bake at 150 C (300 F) for 45-60 minutes, skimming off each golden skin that forms on top, until you have 6-8 skins; reserve the skins and the reduced milk.

- Bring the reserved baked milk back to a simmer, whisk in the semolina, sugar and salt, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring, until it forms a thick porridge; stir in the vanilla and half the butter.
- In a buttered baking dish, layer a third of the semolina, a few of the milk skins and a third of the nut and fruit mix; repeat twice more, finishing with skins on top.
- Dot with the remaining butter, drizzle with the honey, and bake at 200 C (400 F) for 12-15 minutes until the top is golden and lightly caramelized.
- Rest for 5 minutes, then serve warm, cut into wedges with the caramelized top facing up.
