Moms Rice Pudding Recipes

RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a heavy bottomed, 3 quart sauce pan, combine the milk, water, sugar, cinnamon stick and rice. Stir to combine.
• Bring to an intense simmer (just below boiling) over medium high heat, stirring often. Reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer and continue cooking, stirring often until the rice is tender, about 35 to 45 minutes. Some liquid will remain. The mixture should have the consistency of a thin oatmeal but will continue to thicken as it cools.
• Remove from heat and remove the cinnamon stick. Stir in the vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract and raisins, if using.
• Spoon the rice pudding into individual ramekins or small containers OR transfer to a large serving dish. Let the pudding cool slightly before serving or let cool to room temperature, cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 1 day in advance.
• Just before serving, top with freshly grated cinnamon or ground cinnamon. Pudding can be enjoyed warm or cooled.

MOM'S RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Mix together all ingredients and place in non greased casserole dish.
• Sprinkle top with cinnamon. Cook `baine-marie' at 350 for 60-70 minutes.
• Serve hot with or without cream.
• For those unfamiliar with 'baine-marie', it is placing the casserole dish into a lasagna pan and fill the lasagna pan with about 1/2 inch of water.

MOM'S BAKED RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Turn oven to 325F and grease large casserole dish.
• Pour in first 5 ingredients and stir well. It will look like a lot of milk but it isn't too much.
• If you want raisins and cinnamon stir it in now. I never put them in as my family prefers it without.
• Dot the top of the ingredients with chunks of butter.
• Bake for 2-3 hours. Stir every 15 minutes for the first hour and then just let it cook. Check it at 2 hours and if it is getting dry add another cup of milk and stir. Taste test to be sure rice is cooked.
• It will get a nice brown skin on top. You can remove it but I like to stir it in as I serve it. It is very flavourful.
• Enjoy!

MOM'S RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Combine sugar and milk in a saucepan. Place over medium heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved, then heat to just below the simmer point. Add rice and cook until the rice is soft, 20-30 minutes.
• Beat egg yolks in a small bowl. Add hot milk, a spoonful at a time, beating well after each addition, until the egg yolks have tripled in volume and are very warm. Add the egg yolks to the pan and stir well. Add raisins, cinnamon and vanilla, and stir well.
• Beat egg whites to soft peaks. Fold egg whites and custard together and transfer to a baking dish. Bake in preheated 300F oven until top is browned.
