Bodino of Semolina


Ingredients:

5 oz. semolina 

1-1/2 pints of milk
6 egg yolks
2 egg whites
4 oz. castor sugar
grated lemon peel
1 oz. sultanas
1/3 cup of rum
Whipped cream or Zabajone


Preparation:

Boil one and a half pints of milk with four ounces of castor sugar, and gradually add five ounces of semolina, boil for a quarter of an hour more and stir continually with a wooden spoon.

Take the saucepan off the fire, and when it is cooled a little, add the yolks of six and the whites of two eggs well beaten up, a little grated lemon peel, 1 ounce of sultanas and two small glasses of rum. Mix well, so as to get it very smooth, pour it into a buttered mould and serve either hot or cold.


TIP: If served cold, put whipped cream flavoured with stick vanilla round the dish; If served hot serve with Zabajone.
