Arroz Doce

Step by stepInstructions

1. Bring the rice, water, lemon peel, cinnamon stick and salt to a boil, then simmer until the water is absorbed, about 10 minutes.
2. Add the milk and sugar and simmer gently, stirring often, until the rice is tender and the mixture is creamy, 20-25 minutes.
3. Whisk a little hot rice into the egg yolks, then stir the yolks back into the pot and cook 2 minutes without boiling.
4. Pour into a shallow serving dish and let it cool.
5. Dust generously with ground cinnamon in a lattice pattern and serve warm or at room temperature.
