Ingredients
- 150 g Milk, whole
- 18 g Semolina
- 3 g Butter, unsalted
- 25 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 12 g Sugar
- 0.3 g Cardamom, ground
- 0.2 g Salt
- 8 g Flour, all-purpose

Method
- Bring the milk to the boil, whisk in the semolina and simmer for 5-8 minutes, stirring, until it thickens to a porridge. Let it cool for 15 minutes.
