Aletria - Angel Hair

Today I will share with you the recipe for Aletria, a kind of Sweet Rice done with angel hair (fine egg noodles), but harder in consistency, so that it can be sliced and eaten with the hands.

Ingredients

500 g angel hair (fine egg noodles)
2 l milk
4 egg yolks
1 cinnamon stick
1 lemon's rind
sugar -> up to you!

Preparation

. Pour the milk into a large pan with the cinnamon stick, the rind of a lemon and the salt.

. Bring it to boil while stirring constantly.

. Add the noodles, after breaking them into little pieces, and lower the heat. 

. The constant stirring will keep the noodles from sticking.

.  At a low heat, allow the mixture to achieve a pudding consistency and add milk in case it gets too hard.

. When the noodles have cooked add the sugar and keep on stirring.

. Remove the cinnamon stick and the lemon's rind.

. Add the beaten egg yolks and mix them quickly until they have been evenly distributed.

. Pour it into a platte and decorate it with ground cinnamon.

Enjoy!
