Good morning! This morning I encountered an old nemesis, Arroz con Leche.  If you are not familiar with the Mexican traditions it is the same thing as rice pudding. It is Very delicious. The problem is that I hardly ever make it correctly. The rice is either burned or not quite done and Skeeter loves Arroz con Leche.  Today I got it right!

Here is the recipe.

• 4 Cups Water
• 2 Cups Mahatma Rice
• 1 Tbs. Vanilla Extract
• 2 Cups sugar
• 1 Cinnamon Stick
• 2 Tbs. Cinnamon Powder
• 2 cups 1% milk
• 1 tsp oil

1. Add water, oil and cinnamon stick to medium saucepan and bring to boil
2. Add rice and cook until water is almost gone on Medium temp.
3. Add milk, sugar (or sugar replacement) and vanilla. Cook 8 minutes stirring frequently
4. Remove from heat and cover for 10 minutes.
5. Serve hot with a bit of cold milk and cinnamon sprinkled on top.

Enjoy!
