Step-by-step
- Pour milk into a deep saucepan then heat the pan and add the rice, sugar, and butter.
- Stirring constantly to avoid scorching, bring mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and continue to cook at a medium simmer uncovered until the rice is soft (about 1 hour). This allows for the milk to thicken. Stir the rice occasionally during the cooking.
- When the rice is fully cooked, remove from the heat and stir in vanilla.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff, then blend in the yolk.
- Now, carefully dilute the egg whites with about 4-5 tablespoons of the hot pudding, beating continually to keep the egg from coagulating.
- Add the egg mixture slowly into the pudding and stir until it thickens.
- Remove from heat.
- You can enjoy rizogalo warm or cold. Pour rizogalo into bowls and serve warm, or cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and leave it in the refrigerator to chill.
- However you like your rizogalo, dust with a generous amount of cinnamon on top before serving. Enjoy!
