Ingredients

• 2 cups fine semolina

• ½ cup sugar

• 1 cup warm milk

• ½ cup melted butter (or ghee for extra richness)

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (or a pinch of cardamom for a fragrant twist)

• A pinch of salt

• Vegetable oil or butter, for frying

• Sugar, honey, or syrup, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the batter

In a large bowl, whisk together semolina, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the warm milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and thick.
Let the mixture rest for 15–20 minutes so the semolina can absorb the liquid and soften.

2. Shape the cakes

Once the batter has rested, shape it into small, round patties about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick.

3. Cook the cakes

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Cook the patties in batches for 3–4 minutes per side, until crisp and golden. Adjust the heat if needed to prevent burning.

4. Serve

Enjoy the cakes warm, sprinkled with sugar, drizzled with honey, or served with syrup.
They are also delicious plain alongside tea or coffee.
