Semolina Patties with Berry Kissel

Pour the milk and water into a saucepan, heat it up, and add the salt and sugar.

Once it starts boiling, stream in the semolina slowly, stirring constantly and vigorously until it thickens into a solid mass.

Remove from heat and let it cool completely.

Make the kissel: put the berries in a saucepan, pour in 500 ml of water, mash them with a potato masher, and bring to a boil.

Dilute the starch in a small amount of cold water and pour it in a thin stream into the boiling berry liquid, whisking constantly.

Simmer for about another 5 minutes over medium heat, and strain the kissel if desired.

Work the egg into the cooled semolina mass until it forms a dough.

Form into small patties and coat them in dry semolina.

Fry in sunflower oil over medium heat on both sides until golden brown.
