Rice Pudding - (Arroz Con Leche) Recipe - Cooking Index
For variation, substitute a cinnamon stick and a small piece of orange peel for the vanilla. Tie the orange peel in cheesecloth and remove it when pudding is cooked.
Cuisine: Spanish| 1 cup | 160g / 5.6oz | Rice |
| 5 1/2 cups | 1303ml | Milk |
| 1 cup | 198g / 7oz | Sugar - a rounded cup |
| 1 tablespoon | 15ml | Butter |
| 1 | Salt | |
| Powdered cinnamon - for sprinkling | ||
| Flavoring | ||
| 1 | Vanilla bean | |
| (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract) |
Scald rice as follows: bring to a boil several cups of water, toss in rice, and boil for 3 minutes while stirring. Drain and rinse under cold water.
Bring milk to a boil with vanilla. When milk is boiling, pour in scalded rice slowly so that boiling is not interrupted. Add butter, sugar, and salt. Let boil hard for 5 minutes, then cover and reduce flame to very low (or protect rice from burning by placing asbestos pad over moderate flame).
Cook slowly, covered, until rice is done (about 1 hour). Check after 20 minutes to see whether more milk should be added; if rice is dry, add boiling milk. When pudding is cooked, rice grains should be soft but separate in a creamy thick sauce. Remove vanilla bean and pour pudding into serving dish to cool. When cool, powder with a little cinnamon.
