Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/4 cups water
3/4 cup short-grain rice
2 1/2 cups whole milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
3 3/4 tablespoons cornstarch
3 egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, combine rice & water. Bring to boil, then turn heat down to low & cook 10 minutes, stirring frequently with wooden spoon.
  • Warm milk & stir into rice along with half the sugar [NOTE: If your preference is for a less-sweet pudding, consider reducing the 3/4 cup to 2/3 cup, then use HALF OF THAT at this time]. Cover & continue to cook over very low heat for 20 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed, stirring occasionally.
  • Dissolve cornstarch in as little cold water as possible (about 2 tablespoons, but make sure it is FULLY dissolved) & add to rice.
  • Continue to stir briskly, simmering for a full 5 minutes, then remove from heat, & set aside, covered, for 10 minutes.
  • Whisk egg yolks with the last half of the sugar, then add to rice mixture, stirring with wooden spoon until very well blended (to thicken & to prevent yolks from cooking separately).
  • Set aside to cool in the saucepan or in individual serving dishes.
  • Serve at room temperature, sprinkled with cinnamon.
