Ingredients

  • 7-1/2 cups water
  • 2-1/2 cups uncooked arborio rice
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Oil for deep-fat frying

Directions

  • 1. 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.
