Sweet rice cake
Description
The recipe won't take much time. For this pie, Arborio rice or similar round rice works well. Optionally, you can add raisins, chopped nuts, or cottage cheese. The finished pie can be brushed with a brush using almond or anise liqueur. Alternatively, before baking, you can sprinkle the pie with almond flakes. Serve with tea or coffee.
