Method

1. 1 Mix the semolina with the softened butter using your fingertips for 5 minutes, until the mixture forms a moist, sandy crumb.
2. 2 Squeeze the butter into the semolina for long enough for the bread to crumble; mixing too quickly will result in a dry, hard bread.
3. 3 Add enough sugar, salt, baking powder, and milk to form a dough that can be shaped into a ball; do not knead it like bread dough.
4. 4 Press the dough into a 1.5 cm thick disc, then roll it in dry semolina to create a rough surface.
5. 5 Pan-fry for 6 minutes on each side until golden brown, serve hot with honey and fresh cheese.

With an appliance

• Air fryer 35 min

  Replace step 5: Place the plate of semolina-coated flour into the air fryer at 175 degrees for 12 minutes, flipping at the 7th minute to brown both sides; do not spray oil as the butter has already been evenly mixed into the flour.
