A classic and beloved dessert, rice pudding brings back childhood memories. Simple and delicious, it's perfect for breakfast, a light evening snack, or dessert. I've shared this recipe before, but this time I flavored it with mastic and it was truly dreamy!

Steps

half an hour

1

Add a little water to an aluminum or nonstick saucepan. Place over heat and, once it comes to a boil, add the rice. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed. If the water is absorbed before the rice is done, add a bit more water as needed.
2

Meanwhile, dissolve the cornstarch in a small amount of the milk. When the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed, add the remaining milk, the milk with dissolved cornstarch, the sugar, and the mastic to the saucepan. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens.
3

Remove from heat and let it cool slightly, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming on top. Then divide the pudding into 6-7 small bowls. Sprinkle cinnamon on top. Enjoy warm or cold. Once fully cooled, cover each bowl with plastic wrap or its lid and refrigerate.

Είμαι η Λεμονιά, σύζυγος, μητέρα δύο παιδιών και γιαγιά. Η κουζίνα είναι το αγαπημένο σημείο του σπιτιού, όπου περνώ αρκετές ώρες μαγειρεύοντας. Πειραματιζομαι με νέες συνταγές και γεύσεις και κάνω και τις δικές μου παρεμβάσεις. Το κύριο συστατικό των συνταγών μου είναι το ελαιόλαδο μια και ο τόπος μου, το Κρανίδι, είναι μια περιοχή με άφθονο και καλό ελαιόλαδο. Χαίρομαι πολύ που ανήκω σε αυτή την μεγάλη μαγειρική παρέα 🍜🍳🍝
