Arroz con leche – Milk rice pudding

Creamy rice pudding

“Arroz con leche” is a creamy and sweet rice dessert served in households all over Spain (and other Latin countries). To give it some special flavor, in Spain they usually add lemon peal and cinnamon.

Every family has their own “arroz con leche” recipe. I’ll share with you my Spanish grandma’s recipe, that is known as the very best in my husband’s family. It is usually served cold with cinnamon or a caramelized sugar crust on top of it….and yes, it is very tasty :)

Yogurt pancakes

Soft and light pancakes

When I was small, my grandma prepared pancakes from curdled milk and they were very tasty. So, having these memories in mind, I’ve replaced curdled milk with natural yogurt. The pancakes turn out very soft and almost melt in your mouth. I hope that you will try them!
