This easy recipe for Spanish rice was told to me by my girlfriend's mother-in-law from Mexico. I had to measure the ingredients. Never before have they been measured, always a "handful of this and equal parts of that" until it looked right. I hope you enjoy it. It has become a family favorite in our home. I am always asked to make it!

Sharlotka
Sharlotka is a traditional Russian apple cake. I like to make it in a deep pie dish and serve it with a brown sugar glaze in a fashion similar to a pineapple upside-down cake. However, the recipe may also be used (minus the glaze) to make a single loaf, mini loaves, or cupcakes. Traditionally, it is baked in a cast iron skillet.
