Rice Pudding - Arroz con Leche
Servings: 6 to 8
Ingredients:
2½ cups water
2 cups milk
½ teaspoon of salt
1 - 12 ounce can evaporated milk
1 - 14 ounce can condensed milk
½ cup Valencia type rice (very short grain
rice)
1 piece of lemon or lime peel
1 cinnamon stick
Directions
Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan with
the salt and the lemon or lime peel and add the rice. Lower the heat, cover,
and cook slowly until the rice has absorbed all the water.
Scald the plain milk but do not boil. Add the
cooked rice, the condensed milk and the evaporated milk, the lemon or lime
peel and the cinnamon stick. Cook over low heat, stirring often from the
bottom' of the pot with a wooden spoon. The mixture will be heavy, so you
must take care that the bottom does not scorch.
Cool. Shake powdered cinnamon over the top
before serving.
