Reisauflauf (Baked Rice Pudding)

This is a great dessert as well as a sweet main course in hot summer weather.

For four as a main course or eight as a dessert:

3/4 l milk

200 g rice for rice pudding

a bit of salt

Heat the milk, put the rice in and let it cook on low heat until the rice pudding is done.

65 g butter

1 package vanilla sugar

80 g sugar

2 or 3 big spoons of Quark cheese (100 to 250 g)

2 or 3 eggs

a few drops of lemon juice

Mix these ingredients and then put them and the rice pudding in a suitable bowl. Mix thoroughly. Bake one hour at 190°C. Serve with fruit, e. g. fresh strawberries or compote.

Guten Appetit!

Note: Vanilla sugar is available in Germany in little paper bags. I don’t know if it exists elsewhere. You can substitute it with vanilla and add a little more sugar.

Es gibt Reis, Baby!

We’ve recently had complaints about not offering enough German recipes on this site , so I posted a new one today: Reisauflauf!

This means baked rice pudding, and please let me know if there is a real and more elegant name for the dish in English. Isn’t there a dictionary for English cooking terms on the web?

Auf deutsch gibt’s das Rezept hier.

Guten Appetit!

Physics is cool

PhysicsWeb: Liquid marbles roll out. (Link via Blackholebrain.)

“The dynamics of water droplets has fascinated physicists for well over a century. Yet several aspects of droplet motion have remained untested because moving drops tend to leave traces of liquid on surfaces. Now a team of French physicists has developed a way of moving a liquid drop across a surface without wetting it.”

Nature: The water marbles: “Powder coated drops of water float on water and roll on glass.”
