Melissas 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.

MELISSA'S MOM'S RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place milk in heavy saucepan and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Slowly add in rice, stir once or twice, and let mixture come back to a boil. When it reaches a boil, cover and bring heat to low. Let cook 30 minutes or until rice is tender and most of milk is absorbed. Beat egg yolks with 3/4 cup sugar and 3 cups half and half. Add in the rice mixture. Return mixture to heavy saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly, until mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Add the vanilla extract. Beat egg whites until foamy, then slowly add sugar. Beat until firm peaks are formed. Place pudding in 1 1/2 quart baking dish; top with egg white mixture. Using the back of a spoon you can create a little design in the topping if you like. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake in oven for 10 minutes until lightly browned.

• 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.

• Enjoy!
