Method

Whisk the slurry

In a medium bowl, whisk the Rice Flour with about 200 ml of the Whole Milk until completely smooth, then whisk in the Granulated Sugar. Keep stirring until there are no dry pockets left and the mixture looks like a lump-free paste.

Heat the milk

Pour the remaining milk into a medium saucepan and heat it over medium, stirring occasionally, until it is hot and just beginning to steam. Whisk in the rice-flour mixture in a thin stream so it blends in smoothly without lumps.

Thicken the pudding

Keep cooking over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, whisking constantly, then cook for 1 minute more, until the pudding is thick, glossy, and coats the back of a spoon. It should still move slowly in the pan, because it will set more as it chills.

Chill to set

Divide the pudding among 4 small bowls or glasses and let it cool until no longer steaming. Chill for 2 hours, until fully set and cold.

Chop pistachios

While the pudding chills, finely chop the Pistachios if you are using them. Keep the pieces small so they add a little crunch instead of big chunks.

Garnish and serve

Dust each chilled bowl with the Ground Cinnamon, then scatter over the chopped pistachios if using. Serve the muhallebi cold.
