Variations on the basic recipe:

'Burnt Ricepudding'
In Turkey you often see the "crème brûlée" -like rice pudding with a nice brown-roasted crust on the top. You get this by placing the cooled rice pudding in a deep oven dish filled with water. Place the baking dish on one of the top slides and bake the rice pudding in a preheated oven at 200C for about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with cinnamon as desired.

Rice pudding with figs and apricot marmalade
Make a delicious marmalade from the Miras dried figs and Miras dried apricots. Grab a tall cup and alternate layers of fig jam, rice pudding and apricot jam. Finish with a layer of rice pudding. Sprinkle the pudding with crushed Miras pistachios for a colorful whole!

Time to get started

Wash the rice in a sieve under cold running water until the water runs clear.
Add water to the pan and bring to the boil
Add the washed rice and cook gently on the medium setting until the rice has completely absorbed the water.
Add ¾ of the milk.
Use the remaining milk to dissolve the 2 tbsp cornflour. Stir this well to prevent lumps.
Add the dissolved cornflour, sugar and vanilla sugar to the rice and bring to the boil while stirring. Cook on medium for 15 minutes.
When the porridge is slightly creamy, but still runny, fill the hot rice porridge in the ramekins and let it cool completely.
After they have cooled down, you can cover them with cling film and keep them in the refrigerator until use. Sprinkle with a little ground cinnamon before serving. Enjoy your meal!
