The caramel

Put 360 g caster sugar and 12 tablespoons water into a small saucepan on high heat.

Make a light caramel.

Stage 3 - 5 min.

Divide the caramel between the ramekins and leave to cool.

The semolina

Choose a large, non-stick saucepan. Pour in 3 litres whole milk and add 210 g butter and 240 g caster sugar. Put on high heat.

Bring to the boil.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Take off the heat and add 750 g semolina (fine grade).
