…for the rice pudding:
In a second saucepan combine 500 milliliters milk along with 25 grams sugar, 25 grams butter, 1 sachet bourbon vanilla sugar & a pinch of salt & heat up over low to medium heat until the milk starts to simmer.
Once the milk simmers, add 100 grams round-grain rice & give everything a good stir. Allow the rice pudding to simmer gently over low to medium for about 20 – 25 minutes until a thick & creamy consistency. Stir the rice pudding over and over so nothing can burn the pot bottom.
