Ingredients

Level ½ cup medium grain white rice

4 cups boiling water

1 tablespoon butter

dash of salt

3 eggs, beaten just slightly

½ cup sugar

1 teaspoon salt

4 cups whole milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon almond extract

dash of cinnamon, if desired

yellow food coloring (not necessary - it is for eye appeal only)

Directions

Add rice to boiling water; boil for 10 minutes.

Drain rice in a colander; rinse and drain well.

Put rice into a well buttered baking dish; stir in the butter and salt.

Mix the beaten eggs with the sugar and salt.

Stir egg mixture into the milk (while my grandmother and mother’s recipe called for scalding the milk, that is not necessary in this day of pasteurized milk so I just use cold milk).

Add the extracts, cinnamon and just a drop of food coloring; pour over the rice.

Set rice dish in a larger pan that is half filled with hot water (be sure to use HOT water).

Bake at 325 degrees for 60 to 90 minutes (center of pudding should still be jiggle-y in the middle, but rice must be done).

NOTE: Stir rice every 10 minutes the first 30 minutes of baking.

Hi Krumkake - I lived in England and remember having rice pudding that was very rich and creamy - I think it was baked but I was young and don't remember - it was served warm though. I was wondering if this recipe is like the one I remember. I really don't care for baked rice pudding that is firm.
Thanks,

Another great recipe, Krumkake! I love that there is a custard topping on this dish. I love rice but rarely eat rice pudding but this recipe is going to be a keeper and one that will be made often here in our home. Thank you for sharing!
