Italian Orange-Cinnamon Semolina Dumplings image

These dumplings are great as a dessert or with breakfast. Not for the health conscious. Orange blossom water can be replaced by orange essence, but the result is slightly less. Adapted from a recipe by Brigitte Hafner

Time 2h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/4 cups milk
1/2 cup semolina
1/2 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon orange blossom water
4 tablespoons light olive oil
4 tablespoons butter
flour (for dusting)
1 egg
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
6 tablespoons cinnamon sugar

Steps:

  • Bring the milk to the boil over low heat.
  • Add semolina while whisking.
  • Heat while stirring until cooked (you should have a pudding-like mass that doesn't stick to the pan).
  • Stir in sugar, egg yolks, 2 tbsp butter (the mass should now become fluid again).
  • Add orange blossom water to taste (be careful, this can easily overpower other tastes).
  • Spread on a greased tray (about 1 inch thick), allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Cover and refrigerate until firm.
  • Beat egg.
  • Heat olive oil and butter over medium-low heat.
  • Form semolina mixture into small balls, coat in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs.
  • Cook in oil/butter mixture until golden brown.
  • Serve warm, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar.
