Ingredients
- 1 cup (190 grams, 6.70 ounces) arborio rice or a short grain white rice
- 2 cups milk of choice
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1 cinnamon stick about 3-4 cm (1.18-1.57 inches) in length
- 1 trip lemon peel/rind
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract / essence
- pinch of salt
- ½ cup (100 grams, 3.53 ounces) white sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon (15 grams, 0.53 ounces) butter
- ground cinnamon to garnish
Instructions
- Place rice, milk, water, cinnamon stick, lemon peel, vanilla extract, pinch of salt, and sugar in a medium saucepan. Put over medium to high heat. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Stir and then cover with a lid. Simmer with lid on for 30 to 35 minutes or until the rice is cooked. Stir occasionally.
- Remove lid and remove from heat. Mix through the butter.
- Carefully remove the cinnamon stick and lemon rind from the pudding.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks and 3 to 4 tablespoons of the cooked rice (see note 1).
- Combine the egg and rice mixture to the remaining rice in the pot. Stir until combined.
- Place in a serving dish and dust with ground cinnamon.
Notes
- This will allow the eggs to temper. This means the temperature of the eggs will gently increase because you are adding a little bit of the hot rice mixture to it. By doing this, it will prevent the eggs from scrambling when mixing them through the rice.
- Don’t walk away from the stove when cooking. This is because the milk may overflow if it gets too hot. If you find your milk is rising in the pot, reduce the heat and gently stir.
- Don't fill the saucepan to the brim. Have at least 4 cm (1.57 inches) clearance from the top.
