Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 qt whole milk
  • 3/4 cup Arborio rice
  • 5 long strips of lemon peel
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla
  • ground cinnamon sprinkle on top of rice pudding

Instructions

  • In a saucepan heat whole milk over medium heat until it begins to form small bubbles around the edges of the saucepan. Be sure to constantly stir the milk so that it doesn't burn on the bottom of the saucepan.
  • Reduce heat to low and add the Arborio rice and lemon peel to the hot milk and cover. You will need to make sure to stir the milk and rice mixture every 2-3 minutes so that the rice and milk do not stick to the bottom of the pan. Please note, when you remove the lid be very careful not to allow the condensation that has developed into the bottom of the lid fall back into the milk and rice mixture. This step will take between 40 and 45 minutes.
  • Once most of the milk has been absorbed by the rice, remove the milk and rice mixture from the heat and set aside for 20 minutes to cool.
  • While milk and rice mixture is cooling, beat egg yolks in a small mixing bowl with a hand mixer. Add sugar and vanilla to egg yolks and use the hand mixer to incorporate all ingredients together well.
  • Add egg mixture to milk and rice mixture while continually stirring and blending all ingredients well to form pudding.
  • Pour rice pudding into custard cups and sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
  • Serve warm or refrigerate and serve cold.
