PolicemenU this week comes from Paula at IPA Portugal

Recipe for a typical Portuguese sweet. Sweet Rice

2 litres of semi-skimmed milk,
1 cup of short-grain rice,
1 cup of sugar,
1 cinnamon stick,
1 lemon peel,
1 pinch of salt,
4 egg yolks

Preparation

Bring the milk to a boil with the lemon zest, cinnamon stick, and a pinch of salt. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat and add the rice, stirring regularly with a wooden spoon to loosen the rice and prevent it from burning. When the rice is cooked, add the sugar, stir, let it cook a little longer, and then add the beaten egg whites, stirring constantly for about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and place in a deep dish and decorate with cinnamon.

Let it cool and enjoy!

Ingredients
Sponge cake
• 4 large eggs (room temperature)
• 150 g caster sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 120 g plain flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 30 g melted butter
• 2 tbsp milk

Instructions
1. Bake the sponge
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a square baking tin with baking paper.
Whisk eggs and sugar until the mixture becomes pale, thick, and fluffy. Add vanilla extract.
Sift in flour and baking powder, then gently fold into the egg mixture.
Stir in melted butter and milk until just combined.
Pour into the tin and bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden and springy to the touch.
Allow the sponge to cool completely before cutting.

2. Optional filling step
If using cherry filling, you can either:
• spread a thin layer between two sponge layers and sandwich them together, or
• skip this step for a classic plain version
Cut the sponge into even squares.
________________________________________
3. Chill
Place the squares in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up before coating.
________________________________________
4. Make the chocolate coating
Mix icing sugar and cocoa powder in a bowl.
Add hot water and melted butter, whisking until smooth and glossy.
________________________________________
5. Coat the lamingtons
Dip each sponge square into the chocolate mixture, letting excess drip off.
Immediately roll in desiccated coconut until fully covered.
Place on a rack and allow to set.
________________________________________
6. Finish
Let them rest for at least 1 hour before serving for the best texture and flavor.
________________________________________
Serving suggestion
Serve plain for a traditional version or with cherry filling for a more indulgent, fruity twist. Perfect with coffee or afternoon tea.
