Easy Rice Pudding Recipe

This Easy Rice Pudding Recipe, or Sultjash as we call it in Albania, is a delicious dessert. We grew up with it. Rice pudding can cook in various ways. We can cook it in the oven, in a pan, add dried fruits, or combine milk, cream, or condensed milk.
Today, we want to share our traditional rice pudding recipe. Simple recipes are delicious.

It is a simple and nutritious dessert, which is also much preferred by kids. It is easily prepared and can be consumed for breakfast, as an intermediate meal, or as a dessert after a meal.

For a lower calorie version, you can reduce the amount of sugar and use low-fat vegetable milk.

Ingredients

• 1 cup of rice
• 1-1.2 l of milk
• 3 tbsp of sugar
• a little salt
• 1 tbsp of cornstarch
• cinnamon (powder and stick)

Directions

1. First, we will put the rice to boil with water and a little salt in a pot, using the ratio of 1:2 (one rice and two) water.
2. Once it absorbs all water, we will add the milk. Add the milk in parts by mixing it constantly with a wooden spoon. In this way, rice does not stick to the bottom of the pot.
3. The whole mass will cook at a low temperature. Cook the rice slowly until it dissolves and makes it creamy. Add a cinnamon stick for flavor.
4. We will add the sugar at the end according to the sweetness we want it.
5. In the end, add the diluted starch with water or milk. It will thicken the rice pudding better. You can also use rice flour instead of starch. I like the creaminess that starch creates.
6. Finally, divide it into portions and dust it with cinnamon powder on top.
7. Serve it lukewarm or cold as desired.

Bon Appetit!
