The rice contains a high proportion of carbohydrates. It also provides minerals such as calcium and iron to which it adds vitamins such as niacin, vitamin D, thiamine and riboflavin.

The recipe for oranges in Madrid that we are going to prepare today is based on a traditional style rice pudding (although not flavored with lemon zest and cinnamon), to which we are going to incorporate orange and egg to transform it into something very different but just as rich …

And all this without complicating the recipe, which makes it a great opportunity to cook with the family. The little ones love to help by removing the mixture and filling the flaneras with the ingredients. We are going to learn how to make those oranges in Madrid.

Preparation of rice pudding base for dessert

1. To prepare the rice pudding, put the milk over medium heat and when it begins to boil add the rice.
2. Let it cook for 30 minutes, stirring frequently.
3. Add the sugar, stir well and leave for at least 30 more minutes. After that time we check if it is well done, otherwise we will leave it for a while. We have to keep stirring so that it doesn’t stick from time to time.
4. We remove the rice pudding from the heat and grate half an orange on top, mix well with a spatula.
5. We wait for it to be warm and at that moment we add 4 egg yolks, which we stir very well so that it is evenly distributed.

Preparation of the caramel

1. We preheat the oven to 180º C and while we make the caramel.
2. In a small saucepan put the 5 tablespoons of sugar and heat over high heat.
3. When we see that it begins to take color we lower the fire a little and tilting the saucepan we move it until we see that the sugar has turned golden.
4. Be very aware of the candy as it is very easy for it to burn and become bitter.
5. We have to be especially careful when handling it as it reaches a very high temperature during the process. A caramel burn would be fatal.
6. We can also skip this step and use ready-made caramel, so the work would be zero. We pour the liquid caramel in the flaneras.

Baking of oranges a la madrileña

1. We cut the other orange into very thin slices and put them on the fire with water and sugar until soft. Then we remove them and cut into small pieces.
2. We put the oranges on top of the liquid caramel. If the flaneras are large enough we can place a whole slice.
3. We distribute the rice in the flaneras with the help of a spoon.
4. We place the flaneras in a source that we later fill with already hot water, so that it almost covers them completely.
5. We lower the oven temperature to 150º C and bake for 35 minutes with the temperature above and below with air.
6. When they are done, remove them from the mold with the help of a knife and giving a dry blow on the kitchen board.
7. We place with the help of a spatula, bathing with liquid caramel and sprinkling a little more orange zest on top.

It is best to wait for them to cool down to enjoy this dessert that will surprise more than one for its delicious orange flavor.
