Method:

1. Mix the milk and water in a large saucepan. Add the rice and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat and simmer until all the liquid has been absorbed, about 40 minutes.

2. Remove from heat and stir in the egg yolks, 1/2 cup (100 g) of sugar, the flour, orange, vanilla, and orange liqueur until well blended. Let stand for 30 minutes.  

3. Heat the oil in a deep fryer or frying pan until very hot. Drop scant tablespoons of the batter into the oil and fry in batches for 5-7 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown all over.

4. Drain well on paper towels. Dust with the remaining sugar and serve.
