During the month of March I took part in the foodbuzz24x24, I have to admit that is was a lot of fun and I look forward to the opportunity to doing it again one day.
One of the many dishes that I made was Arroz Doce. Azzor Doce translates to sweet rice and is a traditional Portuguese rice pudding, while there are many variations they are all very similar. This particular one is very creamy custardy. If you are looking for a good Arroz Doce recipe this is the way to go.
Like always if you do try this recipe please let me know how it came out. I would love your feedback. Happy Baking!

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
2 cup or white rice (I like Carolina rice, for rice pudding)
8 cups water
half of a lemon's peel, and the other half of the lemon peel finely grated
1 tablespoon butter
A pinch of salt
4 cups hot milk (whole milk makes it creamier)
2 cups sugar
5 egg yolks
Cinnamon for garnish
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil with the lemon peel, butter and pinch of salt.
Add the rice and let it simmer for about 20 minutes and add lemon zest.
Stir occasionally. When most of the water has evaporated, add the very hot milk.
Simmer for 5 more minutes and add the sugar.
In a separate bowl, beat together the egg yolks and add a few spoonfuls of the rice mixture to temperate the egg yolks.
Then add the now warm egg mixture to the saucepan and stir quickly until rice is evenly coated.
Pour arroz doce into a large platter or into individuals servings.
Once rice pudding has settled sprinkle with cinnamon.
Serve cooled.
