How to Make Rice Atole Mexican Rice Pudding Arroz Con Leche
In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice, and 2 cinnamon sticks. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.
While the rice simmers, warm 4 cups of milk in the microwave or on the stovetop. Add the warmed milk to the rice, cover, and continue to cook over low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring gently after 8-10 minutes to prevent sticking.
Stir in ¾ cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Simmer for another 3-5 minutes, or until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Pour the rice pudding into individual serving dishes (custard cups or ramekins) or a large bowl.
Garnish each serving with a cinnamon stick and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, if desired.
Let cool completely before serving. Enjoy warm, at room temperature, or chilled!

Indulge in the irresistible aroma and taste of these Apple Almond Sticky Buns! This recipe elevates classic sticky buns with a tangy apple filling and crunchy almonds, all thanks to a French technique called a 'biga' – a pre-fermented dough that develops incredible flavor and texture.

These buns are best enjoyed fresh from the oven, but reheating for a few minutes the next day brings back their delightful warmth and gooey goodness.
