4 cup milk
3 eggs; separated
1 stick cinnamon
1 cup rice; uncooked
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon lemon or orange skin*
Soak rice covered in water about 10 minutes. Drain; and mix rice; milk; egg yolks; sugar; cinnamon stick and orange zest in sauce pan and cook; constantly stirring; at very low heat (to prevent burning). When it begins to thicken (about 20 minutes); remove from fire. While it is cooling; beat egg whites to stiff peaks. Strain rice mixture to remove cinnamon; lemon peel. Gently fold rice mixture in to beaten egg whites. Pour into a shallow bowl; cool. Serve sprinkled with cinnamon.
