About Belgian rice tart

Belgian rice tart combines a soft yeast pastry with a creamy baked rice filling. June d'Arville connects her rendition to the rice pies she grew up eating, bought by her mother and grandmother for Sunday afternoons.

Arborio rice cooks with milk, sugar and vanilla before meeting a separate egg-yolk custard. Cream keeps the filling moist, while fresh yeast gives the pastry its light texture.

The rice mixture fills the pastry shell and receives an egg wash before baking. June serves the tart lukewarm, with a golden surface above the soft milk-and-rice centre.
