List of Ingredients
- 7 cups milk
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 3 T. butter
- 1 1/2 cups short-grain rice
- 3 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup sugar
Instructions
- Combine milk and cinnamon sticks in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook until milk begins to simmer; reduce heat to low.
- Melt butter in large heavy saucepan or Dutch oven. Add rice to butter; stir with wooden spoon and cook 5 m inutes or until rice is toasted and turns very pale golden in color. Add 3 1/2 cups of milk and cinnamon sticks to rice; cook over medium heat. Stir occasionally so rice does not burn or stick.
- When milk is almost completely absorbed, add remaining milk. Stir and cook until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
- Add egg yolks to rice mixture; stir rapidly to incorporate yolks so they do not scramble. Increase temperature to medium-high, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Add sugar; stir until dissolved. Remove from heat.
