Rediscover the charm of Old-Fashioned Rice Pudding, a classic dessert that has warmed hearts for generations. This creamy delight, with its rich and nostalgic flavor, is made from simple ingredients, offering a comforting treat that evokes sweet memories of yesteryear.
Ingredients:
1 cup white rice (long or medium grain)
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup raisins (optional, but recommended for added sweetness)
Ground nutmeg for a cozy garnish (optional)
Directions:
Rinse the Rice: Start by rinsing the rice under cold water until clear to shed extra starch, ensuring your pudding remains delightfully creamy and not gummy.
Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, mix the rinsed rice with milk and cream. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then simmer on low for 18-20 minutes, stirring now and then. Watch for tender, liquid-absorbed rice.
Whisk the Custard: In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. This is the heart of your pudding’s creamy texture and flavor.
Merge Rice and Custard: Gently blend the custard into the cooked rice. If you’re adding raisins, now’s the time!
