Arroz Doce

Method

1. 1

   Simmer rice in water 10 minutes; drain.

2. 2

   Cook rice in milk with lemon peel and cinnamon stick until creamy, 25 minutes.

3. 3

   Off heat, stir in sugar then tempered yolks; thicken gently 2 minutes without boiling.

   💡 Yolks make it golden and rich — and scramble at a boil. Low, slow, brief.

4. 4

   Pour into a platter and draw your cinnamon lattice. Serve warm or cold; defend your pattern.
