Method
- With a peeler, take the lemon peel off in wide strips, without the white pith.
- In a pan, bring 250 ml of water to the boil with the salt, lemon peel and cinnamon stick. Add the carolino rice and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, until it has absorbed almost all the water.
- Heat the milk in another pan and add it to the rice one ladle at a time, stirring often and adding more only once the rice has absorbed it. Continue for 25 to 30 minutes over low heat, until the rice is very soft and creamy.
- Add the sugar and stir for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and remove the lemon peel and cinnamon stick.
- Separate the eggs and beat the yolks in a bowl; stir in 2 tablespoons of the hot rice; pour the mixture into the pan and stir for 1 minute over the lowest heat, without letting it boil.
- Pour into a serving dish or small bowls, let it cool and dust with the ground cinnamon in stripes or patterns.
Shopping tip
Carolino rice is essential: its starch makes the cream. Keep the egg whites in the fridge for farófias or a mousse.
