Ingredients:

  • 3 cups water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup long- grain rice
  • 1 package dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • steen's pure cane syrup, optional

Directions:

  1. Bring 3 cups of water to a boil with the salt. Add the rice and cook until it is soft and slightly mushy, about 30 minutes.
  2. In a bowl dissolve the yeast in the 1/2 cup warm water. Add the rice and stir well to mix. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit in a warm, draft-free place for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  3. Beat the eggs with the sugar, flour and cinnamon, and fold into the rice mixture to make a thick batter. Let rise, covered, in a warm place for 30 minutes.
  4. In a large saucepan, heat the oil to 360 degrees F. Drop the batter by tablespoonfuls into the hot oil and cook, turning, until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving, and drizzle with Steen's syrup, if desired.
