Rice sticks with orange-honey sauce
Description
This recipe won't take much time. Rice sticks with orange-honey sauce. I suggest a dessert from Italian cuisine that uses a yeast dough made in an unusual way—with rice porridge, flour, and orange zest. For thrifty home cooks, this is also a great way to use up leftover rice porridge from breakfast or dinner. In the finished product, you won't even taste the rice. I prepared this dessert in two ways: the first, classic method (deep-frying), and the second, baking in the oven. Both methods work wonderfully. From this dough, you can easily make tasty buns, delicious with butter for tea, or serve them with a honey-orange sauce. Serve chilled.
