Here on AliceRecipes, we offer you two delectable Babka recipes: a traditional Polish Babka and a chocolate-flavored version.
Our traditional **Polish Babka** recipe stays true to the classic, featuring a sweet yeast dough enriched with eggs, butter, and milk, resulting in a fluffy and tender crumb. This timeless recipe is a labor of love, but the intricate braiding and the final glaze make it a showstopper.

PROPER GEECHEE RICE
Steps:
- Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. In a heavy saucepan over high heat, combine the rice and water and cover with the lid ajar. Bring the water to a boil, shift the lid so that it covers the pan tightly, turn down the heat to very low, and cook for 20 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Never stir the rice during this time. Don't even uncover the pot to peek. Remove from the heat and let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Your rice will be proper.
RICE CAKES
Crispy rice has a revered place in many cultures. These rice cakes, which work well as a side dish to a piece of grilled meat or fish, offer the delicious crunch of Korean nurunji or Middle eastern hkaka, with some of the herbed cheesy goodness of Italian arancini. The basic recipe can be used to accommodate vegetables other than zucchini and herbs other than mint, or can be made without either for a more simple backdrop for a fried egg or a simple snack for a child.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, gently mix everything except the butter. Over medium-high heat, heat the butter in a large frying pan until it is foaming. (A nonstick pan is good for this purpose but cast iron can work well, too.)
- Working in batches if necessary, and adding more butter as needed, use a large spoon or measuring cup to place a scoop of the rice mixture in the pan. Press down with the back of a spatula to form a patty. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden and crisp on the bottom. Gently flip patty and cook another 3 minutes or until golden. Keep warm on a paper-towel-covered plate or pan in a warm oven.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk with 1/2 cup granulated sugar and the lemon zest over medium heat, and bring to a boil. Add the rice, reduce heat to medium low, and simmer, uncovered, stirring, until rice is tender and milk has been absorbed, about 40 minutes. During the last few minutes of cooking, stir rice constantly. The rice should have the consistency of a thick porridge. Transfer rice to a large bowl, and cool to room temperature.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Butter an 8- or 9-inch round baking pan. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the bottom and sides of the pan, then turn the pan upside down and shake out excess crumbs.
- Place the amaretti and almonds in the bowl of a food processor, and finely chop, but do not pulverize. Add to cooled rice. In a large separate bowl, beat eggs until thick and pale yellow. Add amaretto; mix well. Add to cooled rice mixture; stir to combine.
- In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites with the remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar until stiff. Fold the egg whites into the rice mixture. Pour the batter into prepared pan, and shake pan lightly to distribute batter evenly.
- Place pan on the middle rack of the oven, and bake until top of cake is golden brown and a thin knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool on a rack to room temperature. (The cake can be prepared up to a day ahead. Let cool, cover, and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
- Remove cake from pan, and place on a round serving plate. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, and serve.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the rice cake will taste.
- Make sure the rice is cooked through before adding it to the other ingredients.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the rice cake tough.
- Be patient when cooking the rice cake. It takes time for it to cook through.
- Serve the rice cake warm with your favorite toppings.
Conclusion:
Polish rice cake is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little planning, you can make a Polish rice cake that is sure to impress your family and friends.
