Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make semolina balls from semolina like in kindergarten? Prepare your food. Milk of any fat content is suitable, it doesn’t matter. Take an egg of the first category; if added, too large one will make the porridge too liquid. I indicated the minimum amount of sugar, you can increase it for a sweeter version of the meatballs. But, if you plan to serve them with jam or condensed milk, then add as much as indicated. Instead of flour for breading, you can use semolina.

Step 2

Step 2
Take a saucepan or pan suitable for cooking porridge. It is better if the bottom is thick, so the porridge will not burn. Pour milk into it and add sugar and salt. Stir until they dissolve.

Step 3

Step 3
Place the bowl of milk on low heat and bring it to a boil. I advise you not to leave the stove all this time, otherwise the milk may escape. As soon as the first bubbles appear, pour semolina into the milk in a thin stream and with constant stirring.

Step 4

Step 4
Keep the heat to low. Take a whisk and, stirring constantly, cook the porridge until thickened, about 5 minutes. A whisk will help prevent the formation of lumps in semolina porridge. It will be very thick, as it should be.

Step 5

Step 5
Remove the finished porridge from the heat and cool until slightly warm. Beat an egg into it.

Step 6

Step 6
Stir the porridge well with a whisk. At first it will seem that the egg does not want to combine with the semolina, but then the porridge will become homogeneous and smooth.

Step 7

Step 7
Make balls from the porridge — round flatbreads like cheesecakes. And roll them in flour. Or semolina, whatever you take.

Step 8

Step 8
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Keep the fire low. Place the meatballs on the frying pan. Fry them for a few minutes until golden brown on one side first.

Step 9

Step 9
Then turn over and fry the other one.

Step 10

Remove the finished meatballs to a plate and serve immediately.

Step 11

Step 11
