Bring the milk to a boil in a wide saucepan with the sugar, vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the semolina, stirring with a whisk, and bring back to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat, cover, and let the semolina stand for 5 minutes. In the meantime, separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Stir the egg yolks into the semolina porridge. Add the butter to the semolina porridge and stir until the butter has melted. Finally, carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the finished semolina porridge. Serve with compote of your choice, cinnamon and sugar, or brown butter. That’s how my grandma made it, and I love this light and airy semolina porridge.
