Cuisine: Spanish
Type: Rice
Courses: Dessert
Serves: 4 people

Recipe Ingredients

1 cup 160g / 5.6ozRice
5 1/2 cups 1303mlMilk
1 cup 198g / 7ozSugar - a rounded cup
1 tablespoon 15mlButter
1   Salt
  Powdered cinnamon - for sprinkling
  Flavoring
1   Vanilla bean
  (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)

Recipe Instructions

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.
