Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - ⌛ 2 min.
Scale 200 g rice in a strainer, then wash under tap water.
Stage 2 - ⌛ 3 min.
It is not essential, but I advise you to pre-cook rice (especially if you don't use a special dessert rice, also called round rice) 2 or 3 minutes in salted boiling water.
Then dry and rinse.
Then dry and rinse.
Stage 3 - ⌛ 1 min.
Stage 4 - ⌛ 30 min.
Bring to boil stirring frequently with a spatula or a wooden spoon, to prevent sticking on the bottom.
Stage 5
Rice is ready when it has absorbed all the milk, it should be smooth and remain slightly creamy.
Stage 6 - ⌛ 2 min.
Off the heat, possibly add 300 g real custard sauce (crème anglaise).
Stage 7
Your rice is ready, you can now divide it between small dishes and leave to cool.
Remarks
If you don't have crème anglaise, instead you can add 2 eggs + 1 egg yolk to in the cooked rice while it it still hot.
It's a question of taste, but I prefer my rice pudding warm rather than cold. So I frequently put the dish in the microwave for a few seconds before eating.
You can also consider sprinkling some sugar on top, and pass it under the grill to caramelize.

When to add salt to cooking water?
Is it better to salt cooking water, for vegetables for example, at the beginning when it is cold or when it boils? I always heard that one should salt "after", when water is boiling, because if it is salted "before" it will take longer to boil. True or false? Let's try the experiment...

"Psychedelic" sandwich bread
This amazing-looking loaf uses a basic sandwich bread recipe, but half the dough is coloured yellow with turmeric, the other half black with squid ink. The two colours are then rolled up together to give the spiral effect you can see in the photo. The outside is coated with sesame seeds. This surprising bread is full of flavour and, with its "psychedelic" look, it makes spectacular sandwiches and canapés. February 6th 201984 K 4 hours 15 min.
