Frittelle di Riso Recipe

Prep: 45 min. + chilling Cook: 5 min./batch

Yield: 48 Servings

45 5 50

Ingredients

7-1/2 cups water
2-1/2 cups uncooked arborio rice
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
Oil for deep-fat frying
Confectioners' sugar and honey, optional

Directions

In a large saucepan, bring water and rice to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-18 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Stir in sugar and milk. Refrigerate until chilled. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, baking powder, salt and vanilla; add to rice mixture. Stir in flour.
In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Shape tablespoonfuls of rice mixture into 2-in. oval shapes. Fry ovals, a few at a time, for 1 minute on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and drizzle with honey if desired. Yield: 4 dozen.
