Cook time 45 min

Serves 5

Ingredients

• 200 gr short grain white rice
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1/2 piloncillo 75 gr grated or Demerara sugar
• 950 ml water
• 750 whole milk
• 1 tin condensed milk
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
• Ground cinnamon for dusting
• Raisins (optional)

Method

1. Soak the rice in the water 30 min before cooking.
2. Put the rice to cook at high heat and add the pinch of salt and the cinnamon stick. Once start boiling lower the heat all the way down.
3. Add the whole milk, the condense milk, the piloncillo and the vanilla essence.
4. Stir from time to time making sure that it does not stick on the bottom; this is the most important step, because if it sticks on the bottom, that rice will eventually burn and it will change the flavour of the rice pudding.
5. After 25 min of cooking, the rice has to be cooked through. Turn the heat off and let it cool slightly.
6. Serve it in nice glasses and sprinkle some ground cinnamon and add some raising if you fancy.

Listo!

Provecho!
