This is a dish that can really win over kids who are tired of plain semolina porridge — to get a child to finally eat with gusto, all you need is the recipe for semolina pudding with caramel. Bring the milk to a boil over medium heat. Separately, melt the sugar over very low heat, stirring constantly, or it will scorch and turn black. Cook the sugar to a light brown (caramel) color, then slowly start pouring in the milk. Don't be alarmed if the sugar starts to crystallize — it will dissolve again once you put the mixture back over low heat. In another pot, melt the butter. Toast the semolina in the butter for about 15 minutes, stirring constantly, until the grains turn lightly browned. Drop the heat to its lowest, stir the raisins, orange zest, and orange juice into the milk, then slowly pour it all into the semolina. Stir until there are no lumps, cover, and cook over low heat a few minutes until all the liquid is absorbed. Uncover, stir everything, and serve.
How do you plump raisins? Cover well-rinsed raisins with hot water and let them sit 10–15 minutes until soft. Drain and pat them dry with paper towels.
