Riz au lait
Author Notes: I learned this rice pudding recipe while taking a cooking class with Patrice Demers, a pastry chef here in Montreal. It is a very creamy and traditionnal rice pudding . You could add different spices such as cinnamon or cardamom, but I prefer the pure taste of the vanilla alone. - camille

hi Camille, would you say that the rice becomes softer because you first boiled it in water before milk? or perhaps that it removes some of the starch?
