6 c. milk
1 c. rice
3 tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt

Put all ingredients in top of double boiler. Place over simmering water and cook 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until rice is entirely soft and mixture is quick thick. You may have to add milk if too thick. But remove cover for last 10 minutes if porridge is too thin.

Serve in small bowls to each person before dinner (as appetizer or first course). Place a blanched almond (HIDDEN) in one bowl. The person who finds the almonds while eating (don't cheat) gets an "almond prize".

Prize can be as small or elaborate as you choose.

Serve with a cinnamon-sugar mixture and cool milk or cream as desired or serve with fruit sauce. 6 servings.
