In a separate bowl, whisk together semolina, self-raising flour, and baking powder.
4
Add the almond essence (if using) to the milk and stir to combine.

Alternate adding the dry mixture and milk to the egg mixture in batches, folding gently with a spatula until just combined and the batter is smooth.
