Ingredients

  • 150 g Rizella Kocani Sant’Andrea Rice
  • 300 ml water
  • 1 l whole milk
  • 120 g sugar
  • 1 sachet vanilla sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornflour
  • cinnamon for sprinkling

Method

  1. 01Cook the rice in the water for 10 minutes, until it has absorbed almost all of it.
  2. 02Add the milk, keeping a little aside, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring often so it does not catch.
  3. 03Add the sugar and vanilla sugar and cook for another 5 minutes.
  4. 04Dissolve the cornflour in the cold milk you kept aside, stir it in and keep stirring for 2 minutes, until thick.
  5. 05Pour into bowls, leave to cool and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Tip

The pudding thickens as it cools. For a softer pudding, take it off the heat earlier.
