this is so delicious and quick to make i couldn't believe it!

1/4 cup of rice flour dissolved into a paste in 1/4 cup of cold rice milk (adjust proportions for larger quantities)

about 3 cups of rice milk + 1 cup of sugar (i used xylithol, a little less than a cup, but you can substitute with any sweetener, e.g. 2.5 cups milk + 0.5 cup maple syrup) - boiled together

add a pinch of saffron flakes and cardamom or fresh vanilla pod, stirring continuously;

slowly add the rice flour paste, stirring the whole time on low heat for a bout 5 mins, until pudding-like consistency is achieved;

cool at room temp, stirring occasionally toprevent skin from forming;

add 2 teaspoons of rosewater and pour into serving bowls;

chill in the fridge until set and then sprinkle with slightly toasted almond flakes or pistachios before serving;

sooo good and so quick to make. you can adjust the thickness of this pudding/custard by adding more rice paste. use as a pie or roll filling, or even as cream for decorating a cake, too!
