For Salted butter caramel sauce (optional):. 150 gr sugar
. 200gr whipping cream
. 80 gr Butter

Put the lid on, leaving slightly open. (1cm)
Turn on the smallest ring of your stove and cook at a high temperature for 10 minutes.
Then lower the flame to the minimum and count another 20 minutes of cooking. Turn off the gas completely and cover the pot with the lid.
Let it finish cooking until completely cooled, stirring from time to time to stop cooking.

For Salted butter caramel sauce (optional):

Make a caramel with the sugar, add the cream all at once off the stove.
Be careful adding all at once as it may cause splashes.
Bring to the boil again and add the butter off the stove, beating well.
Cool and store in a glass jar in the fridge.
It can keep for 5 to 7 days and use it on pancakes, with yogurt or toast ....
 
Tips:Do not rinse the rice, it will withdraw all its softness ...
Do not boil water the first time....
The round rice is heavily starched, that's what gives it its incomparable softness. Use round rice or Arborio rice but not other rice, to increase softness.
