Arroz con Leche

Arroz con Leche was my favorite dish growing up, I couldn't get enough of the stuff. Now that I'm older, I try not to make it too often cuz I will eat the entire batch in one sitting! Looking around the web for some tamale recipes I often came across arroz con leche recipes, so of course I started craving some.

Many of the recipes online are sugar heavy, by a lot, so I hope you like mine which is light on the sugar and heavy on the cinnamon.
