Steps

1. 1

   Simmer orange juice and sugar.

   In a small saucepan, simmer the orange juice with the sugar over medium heat until syrupy and reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Stir in half the zest and set aside.

2. 2

   Warm milk mixture until steaming.

   Warm the milk, honey, cardamom, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat until steaming. Do not let it boil over.

3. 3

   Rain semolina into milk.

   Rain the semolina into the milk in a slow stream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.

4. 4

   Cook pudding until thickened.

   Lower the heat and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the pudding thickens and pulls cleanly from the sides of the pan, 6 to 8 minutes.

5. 5

   Beat in butter and zest.

   Off heat, beat in the butter and the remaining orange zest until glossy.

6. 6

   Serve pudding with syrup and honey.

   Spoon into bowls, drizzle with the orange syrup and an extra thread of honey, and serve warm.
