To Serve
Pass the rice briefly under cold water using a strainer.
To a pan, add 900ml of water with a pinch of salt and the rind of half a lemon. Once the water reaches a boil, add the rice.
When you run out of liquid, add a third of the milk. Then add the yolk and a little more milk. Gradually add more milk slowly as the liquid evaporates.
Once all of the milk has been added, add the sugar and butter.
Stir for 45 minutes to 1 hour over a low heat until creamy.
Let cool, sprinkle with a little cinnamon and serve at room temperature.
