Frequently asked questions

How long does the rice need to cook?
The rice cooks in the boiling milk for about 1½ hours, until it becomes a thick porridge. The total time of about 5 hours includes cooling and setting in the mold.
Why should the rice be blanched in three changes of boiling water?
That is how the original 1914 recipe does it: the rice is washed in cold water and blanched in three changes of boiling water before being cooked in milk. This removes loose starch and gives a cleaner flavor.
What is served with the molded rice pudding?
It is served cold with red sauce (a berry or fruit sauce) or simply with fruit syrup.
How do I get the pudding neatly out of the mold?
The porridge is poured into a mold moistened with water (a "rinsed mold"); it then releases more easily once cold and firm.
