Hmmm, thinking about making this, but...  Seems to me that 80g of semolina won't thicken up in 130g of milk.  Is semolina in Oz the same as in the States, a grainy flour, like fine milled cornmeal?  I use semolina regularly to make pasta but never cooked it.  Does the cooking make it absorb the milk?  I would have thought the liquid would be about 70% the weight of the flour... this seems reversed.

Having troubles posting, but the recipe was from the italian book, but have checked the Spanish book and quantities are correct.

The semolina will be the same as yours, it should really thicken it as we used to have it for porridge = about 1 Tbsp thickens 250ml milk without any trouble, so I think the amounts will work.
