Method

  1. 01

    Cook the rice

    Put the rice, water, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer until the rice starts to soften and most of the water has been absorbed.

    12 min
  2. 02

    Infuse the milk

    While the rice cooks, heat the milk with the lemon peel and cinnamon stick. Remove the peel and stick before adding the milk to the rice.

  3. 03

    Cook the rice in the milk

    Gradually pour the infused milk over the rice and simmer, stirring often, until the grains are tender and the mixture is creamy.

  4. 04

    Add the egg yolks and sugar

    Beat the egg yolks with the sugar in a bowl. Gradually whisk in a little hot liquid from the pan to temper them. Stir the mixture into the rice and continue cooking gently until it thickens.

  5. 05

    Add the butter and serve

    Remove the pan from the heat, add the butter, and stir until incorporated. Spoon the arroz doce into a serving dish or bowls and dust with ground cinnamon. Serve warm or cold.
