5 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup(s) grated dulce

1 piece(s) well-beaten egg
Directions
  1. In a pot over heat, put 1/2 stick margarine with salt, achiote, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and rice. Toast together so margarine melts. Add 5 cups water and place over heat, covering and leaving on low so rice bursts.
  2. When liquid has dried, add 2 cups evaporated milk, plus milk, adding grated dulce with sugar, cornstarch with 1/2 cup milk, and beaten egg.
  3. Leave on heat for a bit to dry slightly.
  4. If we have plantain leaves, place at bottom of baking mold. If not, grease and flour mold. Bake for 30 minutes to cook and 15 minutes to brown.
  5. Remove from oven, brush with condensed milk.
  6. Finally cut when cold.
