Milch Reis, also known as German Rice Pudding, is a traditional dessert that has been enjoyed in Germany and other parts of Europe for generations. It is typically made with short-grain or medium-grain white rice, milk, and sugar, and is flavored with vanilla and butter. This creamy dessert is often served warm in the winter months and chilled in the summer, and can be enjoyed as a simple dessert or a more elaborate dish with toppings such as fruit, nuts, or chocolate.

Instructions

1.	Rinse and drain the rice in cold water until the water runs clear.
2.	In a large pot, bring the rice, water, and salt to a boil over high heat.
3.	Reduce the heat to a low simmer and cook the rice for 18-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender but not mushy.
4.	Add 3 cups of milk and sugar to taste and cook over low heat, stirring constantly for 5-10 minutes until the mixture is thick and creamy.
5.	In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks with the remaining 1 cup of milk, vanilla, and butter.
6.	Gradually add the egg mixture to the pot with the rice, stirring constantly until well combined.
7.	Cook the mixture over low heat for an additional 5-10 minutes or until thickened and creamy.
8.	Serve the Milch Reis warm or chilled, topped with cinnamon or fruit if desired.
