It was the last day of børnehave in s's normal place on Friday, before they move to the summer situation next week. I think everyone had picked up early - he was the only kid left when I got there. As we were leaving, one of the teachers came running after us with two full cartons of milk - she gave them to us, saying we should take them, otherwise they go in the bin. So we did. We don't usually have normal milk in the house (oat milk and powered milk), and milk doesn't keep well, so we've been on a mission to use up all the milk ever since... We're doing quite well! I have been making s lots of milkshakes (milk blended up with banana and other fruit)... and then S had the idea of making rice pudding... Which, the more I thought about it, seemed like a good idea! I roughly followed this recipe, adding more spices but otherwise keeping it quite plain.
120 g pudding rice
800 ml milk
200 ml water
2 tbsp maple syrup
3/4 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp vanilla powder
1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
Put all ingredients in a big pan, mix, then heat gently, stirring occasionally, for c. 45 min - until thick and creamy but still with a tiny bit of bite in the rice.
We ate it with the options of (1) chopped
fresh mango (the great pakistani honey mango season is still upon us!);
or (2) summer fruit compote with mainly cherries, apple, blueberries
and pink currants. It was surprisingly good - although s refused to eat it.
