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.
