Semolina porridge with jam

Pour the milk into a pot, add the sugar and a pinch of salt and set it over medium heat.

Rinse the bottom of the pot with cold water before pouring in the milk — it sticks and scorches far less.

Heat the milk, stirring, until small bubbles appear around the edge.

Milk boils over in an instant. Do not leave the hob while the pot is on it.

Turn the heat right down. Trickle the semolina in with one hand while you whisk non-stop with the other — that is what stops lumps forming.

Cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the porridge thickens and the whisk leaves a trail. Turn off the hob.

Drop in the butter, cover and let it stand for 2 minutes. Spoon into a bowl and swirl the jam over the top. Enjoy!
