Rice pudding

Someone in my household loves rice pudding, so I've started making this again.

It's a very easy recipe from the Farmer's Wives' Association cookbook (Boerinnebond), which taught generations of Flemish to cook.


Serves 2-4

1/2 l milk
50 gr rice (special rice for dessert or for risotto)
25 gr sugar
1 cinnamon stick

Add rice and cinnamon to milk and bring to the boil. Stir regularly.
When it boils, cover the pan and turn down the heat. Let it simmer on very low heat for 40 min, again stirring regularly. Add sugar 5 min before the end of cooking. Pour into a bowl or different small bowls.

Note: Last time the taste of cinnamon was very strong, so now I only used half a stick and took it out after 5 min of boiling.

don't think there is. But there is a Belgian cookbook in English, more than 10 years old though, I think Chloé has it.
