Rice Pudding With Sultanas (Spain) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 ounces white rice
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
1 quart milk
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sultana
1 cup brandy
1 stick cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Preparation

Put sultanas in a bowl & cover them with the brandy, then allow them to sit & soak up some of the liquid, about 30 minutes.
In a heavy sauce pan, combine rice, sugar, milk, the drops of vanilla & the cinnamon stick.
When the milk STARTS to boil, turn heat to low & simmer slowly, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
When sultanas have soaked up some of the brandy, drain them & add the sultanas to the rice & milk mixture.
Continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes, & once rice has cooked, remove pan from the heat & remove the cinnamon stick.
Spoon into a serving bowl & let cool a bit before sprinkling a little ground cinnamon over the top & serving.
