Arroz con Leche

1 c rice

1/2 c sugar

2 tsp cornstarch

1/2 tsp salt

1 2/3 c whole milk

1/2 lemon worth of zest

2 T butter

1 tsp vanilla

4 egg yolks

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 1/2 c cold water

Bring the water to a boil.  Add rice, reduce heat, cover and cook until rice is done, about 20 minutes.  Mix sugar, cornstarch and salt in a separate bowl.  Add to the rice with the milk and lemon zest. Increase the heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved.

Remove from the heat and add the butter and vanilla.

In a separate bowl beat the egg yolks.  Slowly add 2 cups of the milk and rice mixture to the eggs stirring frequently.  Add this back to the rice mixture.  Return to the heat and cook 2 minutes until it starts to boil.  Remove from heat and pour into bowls.  Sprinkle cinnamon on the tops and cool.
