Start with the floor:

  • Using a mixer, beat the butter with the sugar and vanilla sugar until creamy.

  • Gradually add the semolina, stirring constantly, otherwise it will burn.
  • Cook the semolina for 2 minutes and add the poppy seeds.
  • Stir and cook until the liquid thickens.
  • Add the butter and continue stirring.
  • As soon as it has completely melted, remove the pot from the heat.
  • Stir in the extract and let the semolina pudding cool for 5 minutes.
