Recipe 165- Rizogalo (rice pudding)

Good morning.
This is an old time favorite greek dessert.

Ingredients

1 cup rice
2 cups water
4 cups milk
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon corn flour
2 tablespoons milk for dissolving the flour
1 teaspoon vanilla powder
1 egg yolk beaten

In a pan bring the water to boil then add the rice and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all water has evaporated.
Pour in the milk and start mixing. Raise the temperature and add the sugar. Stir in the vanilla and egg yolk. Bring to boil again and simmer once more. Allow to cook for about 35 minutes. You have to stir occasionally.
In the end you should have a thick cream pudding. To thicken it a little more dissolve the corn flour into the milk (2 tablespoons) and add this to the pudding.
Stir well and allow to cook for 5 more minutes.
To serve, divide the pudding into small bowls and sprinkle with cinnamon powder.

Enjoy!
