• In a separate medium bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, and vanilla.
• Whisk about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture to temper the eggs. Add all of the egg mixture to the saucepan of hot milk and rice, stirring constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs. Allow to cook until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 175 to 180 F.

CLASSIC RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Whisk together the egg, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Add the milk, cream, rice and salt to a medium-sized saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the rice is tender, about 20-25 minutes. Stir frequently to keep the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
• Slowly add about half a cup of the hot rice mixture to the egg mixture, whisking quickly, to temper the egg mixture.
• Add the egg mixture to the saucepan with the remaining rice mixture. Stir everything together and continue heating on low heat for about another 5-10 minutes, or until thickened. Don't boil. It will thicken quickly. Keep in mind that the mixture will continue to thicken as it cools, so you don't want it to be too thick before you take it off the heat. A touch soupy still is ok.
• Remove from heat and serve warm.

RICE PUDDING WITH COOKED RICE

Steps:

• Combine the cooked rice, milk, and salt in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
• Cook the mixture, stirring to prevent burning until it starts to thicken, around 15-20 minutes. The milk will reduce a bit, leaving a creamier sauce at this point.
• Add in the raisins and sugar, and cook until the raisins are plumped up. Continue stirring the entire time, ensuring that the milk doesn't burn and the rice doesn't stick to the bottom.
• Take the beaten eggs and whisk 1/4 cup of the hot mixture into them (tempering the eggs). Rapidly whisk the tempered eggs into the pudding. Cook for a few minutes more while it thickens, stirring constantly.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat; stir the butter and vanilla extract into the pudding. Season with the nutmeg and cinnamon to taste.
• Serve warm or cold.

CHILLED RUM & RAISIN RICE PUDDING

• Combine the milk, cream, rice, vanilla, sugar and lemon zest in a heavy-based saucepan. Bring gently to a boil, stirring continuously. Once bubbling, turn the heat to low and gently simmer for about 45 mins, stirring frequently to stop it sticking, until the rice is just tender. Lay a sheet of cling film directly on the surface of the rice, cool to room temperature, then chill until cold.
• To serve, combine the syrup ingredients in a small pan. Melt together, then bubble until syrupy for 4-5 mins. Cool for a few mins while you loosen the chilled rice pudding with some single cream (it will have become more solid) - just gently stir in a splash at a time until it's spoonable. Divide between serving bowls and top with some warm rum & raisin syrup.
