Method

  1. Put rice and milk into a pan and bring to a boil over moderate heat.
  2. Add butter and sugar and cook until the liquid is almost completely absorbed, so that the rice becomes soft.
  3. Remove from heat, add the grated lemon peel, the pine nuts and the apricots cut into small pieces and, finally, the egg yolks, mixing carefully.
  4. Whip the egg whites until stiff and gently mix them into the rice, stirring from the bottom upwards.
  5. Butter a plum cake mould (or 4 single moulds) and dust it with flour and bread crumbs.
  6. Pour the rice mixture into the mould and bake at 180°C for 40 minutes.
  7. Bake until the mixture is completely dry and the surface appears brown.
