What are the Tips for Making Rice Pudding at Home?
The starchy rice pudding recipe we shared with you has some tips. No matter what type of rice pudding you make, you will need to take into account the details about rice and milk. Here are the tips for making rice pudding at home!
1. Be careful when soaking the rice!
The first trick to making rice pudding at home is soaking the rice. You will only need to soak the rice once. Rice that is soaked repeatedly may lose its natural starch and lose its rice pudding consistency. You can add 2 cups of hot water to the rice that you have soaked in warm water for about 20 minutes and start cooking it over low heat.
2. Pay Attention to the Cooking Order
Another tip is to add milk and rice in the pot. Transferring the rice that you have kept in warm water to a pot with milk before it cools down will not be correct in terms of consistency. You can add rice to boiling milk, or you can also choose to add rice first and then milk.
In this case, when the rice starts to absorb the water you added, you need to add the milk and cook it on low heat for about 10 minutes. Let’s also answer the question about milk, how much rice can be put in 1 liter of milk. If you are preparing a dessert for 10 people, 4 tablespoons of rice will be sufficient. You may also wonder how much rice should be added to 2 kilos of milk. Two kilos of milk represents 2 liters, that is, a portion for 20 people. If you want to use a rice pudding recipe at home for 20 people, you can add 8 tablespoons of rice in addition to 2 liters of milk.
3.Use Starch Correctly
The last tip we will share with you is the use of starch. If you are going to make starchy rice pudding, mix the starch with 1 tea glass of water in a bowl instead of adding the starch directly. Then, after adding milk and sugar, you can add starch little by little. In this way, you will prevent the starch from clumping and preventing the rice pudding consistency.
