  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter Can be substituted with olive oil.
  • 1 cup semolina flour Can be replaced with finely ground cornmeal.
  • 3 eggs Use flax eggs for vegan alternative.

  • 1 cup whole milk Almond milk works for dairy-free.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Nutmeg can add depth if desired.
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg Optional but recommended.

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
