Here is my little German grandmother's recipe for sweet rice, in case there are any good German-Texans in here who enjoy it as much as I do. I put this recipe together from watching Grandma when I was a kid, along with a good amount of experimentation. It turns out exactly like what she used to make, and it is delicious.
Hilma's Sweet Rice
Ingredients
1 Cup White Rice
2 Cups Water
1/2 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Milk
1 Tablespoon Butter
1 Dash Ground Cinnamon
Bring water to boil, add rice and reduce heat to low, cooking for 20 minutes or until rice is cooked. Remove rice from heat. Stir in the butter. Add the milk. Add the sugar. Put rice over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Do not cover. Cook the milk down until the rice is nice and creamy. When finished, pour the rice into a bowl to serve. Sprinkle some cinnamon on top and serve.
