- In a saucepan, add the water and sugar. As soon as the mixture starts to boil, turn off the heat. Set aside.
- In a frying pan, melt ½ cup (100 g) of clarified butter. As soon as the butter starts to melt, add all the semolina at once. Mix well and stir constantly with a spatula for about 10 minutes on medium/low heat. The semolina must take a caramel color.
