Moldovan Sweet Rice Pudding - Plachia

"Plachia" is one of the most beloved desserts of my childhood, besides Baba Neagra it was served on many occasions and meals, necessarily baked in a wood oven in clay pots. I couldn't reproduce it for a long time until I consulted again last summer with my aunt from the country.

It is not a simple rice with milk - more a kind of rice with milk and eggs, well baked, with an intense smell of butter and vanilla. I even managed to make it without an oven, on the stove - it tasted about 99% like my grandmother's. I recommend you try it, as a slightly special version of rice pudding.

Ingredients

Short grain rice
1 cup
Milk
3 cups
Sugar
5 tbsp
put to taste, but it is good to be sweeter
Egg
3 pieces
Butter
50 g
Vanilla Extract
1 tbsp
and a handful of raisins optional

Step by step

In a thick-bottomed saucepan or saucepan, boil 1 glass of water (250ml).

Step 9

In both cases, you have to get something out of it. It can be seen that the rice is well cooked and has brown edges.
