Maja Blanca.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups rice
- 10 cups fresh milk
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup fresh coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon anis
- latik
Procedure:
- Wash rice and soak in 2 cups water overnight.
- Grind and strain through a coarse cheesecloth.
- Add to this the milk and sugar.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, adding fresh coconut oil little by little to avoid burning.
- When thick, add anis (toasted) and mix well.
- Pour into a coconut oil greased platter or on small individual plates.
- When cool, serve with latik.
How to Make Latik:
- Boil in a saucepan pure milk of coconut until a point when the oil is extracted and the cheese-like precipitate becomes delicate brown in color. This precipitate is the latik.
- Drain off the oil from the latik and use it for greasing plates or molds.
