Description
This Greek dessert is creamy, delicious and not too sweet with a hint of vanilla and cinnamon!
Ingredients
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Long Grain Rice (not Instant)
- 8 cups Milk, Whole Or Low Fat
- ½ cups Butter
- ¾ cups Sugar
- 4 whole Eggs
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla
- 2 Tablespoons Cinnamon
Preparation
In a 4-quart sauce pan, bring water to a boil over medium high heat. Add rice. Stir and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until water has evaporated.
Lower heat to low and stir in milk, butter and sugar. Cover and cook over low heat for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, stirring occasionally.
Whip eggs with a fork or whisk. Stir 2 to 3 tablespoons of the hot rice mixture into the eggs (so that the eggs do not curdle). Pour the egg mixture slowly into the rice, stirring constantly. Add vanilla. Stir for 2 to 3 minutes and remove from heat.
Pour into dessert dishes and sprinkle with cinnamon. Refrigerate when cooled.
This recipe makes 10 to 12 one-cup servings.
