How to Make Rizogalo Rice Pudding

  1. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
  2. Add 1 cup of uncooked Arborio rice, stir gently once, reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, or until the water is almost completely absorbed.
  3. Add 4 cups of whole milk to the rice, stir gently, and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour with 4 tablespoons of cold water until smooth and lump-free.
  5. Gradually whisk the flour mixture into the rice and milk mixture. Stir constantly to prevent clumping.
  6. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and stir well. Continue simmering for 15 minutes, or until the pudding has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally.
  7. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or the zest of 1/2 a lemon. Let the pudding cool slightly.
  8. Pour the warm rice pudding into 4 individual custard cups or small dishes. Let them cool completely before chilling in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  9. Before serving, sprinkle generously with ground cinnamon.
