Nostalgic Irish nursery pudding: fine durum wheat semolina gently whisked into whole milk and simmered until thick and velvety, served with fruit jam or dark brown sugar.
Bring milk, sugar, and vanilla to a gentle simmer in a saucepan.
Rain in semolina in a steady stream while whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
Simmer gently over low heat for 3-4 minutes, whisking constantly until smooth and thick.
Stir in butter, pour into warm bowls, and drop a spoonful of jam into the center.
