Rice Pudding From Riviera Hotel Las Vegas Recipes

RICE PUDDING FROM RIVIERA HOTEL LAS VEGAS

Steps:

• Put first three ingredients into a pan and boil together for four minutes.
• Put together your double boiler and in the top pan put the milk and butter. Add the hot rice mixture to this and cook in double boiler for 11/2 hours. Stir occasionally.
• Lightly beat the two eggs in a bowl and stir into them a 1/2 cup of the hot mixture. (You are tempering the eggs at this point, bringing temperature of eggs slowly up to that of hot mixture so you don't end up with scrambled eggs!) Add another 1/2 cup of hot mix to eggs and stir. Slowy add egg mixture back into the hot rice mixture a little at a time and stir well.
• Add sugar to rice and cook for a few minutes til sugar dissolves. Adjust salt now to your personal preference.
• Lower burner temperature under double boiler to lowest setting and add vanilla and raisins. Cook and stir gently for 1-2 minutes.
• Remove from heat and pour into serving dishes. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on top of bowls to taste. Serve warm or cold. Store leftovers in refrigerator.

AMERICANA HOTEL ORANGED RICE PUDDING/CARRIE SHERIDAN

Steps:

• Scald milk in a bowl sitting over a pot of very hot, not boiling, water.
• Pare the orange like an apple, going round and round so that the peel is in one long spiral.
• Add the orange peel, rice, sugar and salt to the scalded milk.
• Cook, covered, over the hot water OR over a low flame until the rice is tender - usually 20-30 minutes.
• Stir with a wooden spoon occasionally during the first part of the cooking.
• Remove the peel.
• Combine cream and egg yolks well.
• Whisk a spoonful of the hot milk mixture into the yolks.
• Then add a little more, being careful to go slowly so you don't cook the yolks.
• When you have a cup of the cream and yolk mixture successfully added to the hot milk mixture, add this all to the hot milk, whisking constantly --.
• Continue cooking, covered, about 20 minutes, stirring now and then.
• Remove from heat.
• Add vanilla.
• Pour pudding into cups and serve.
• You can chill these also, if desired.
• [scalding milk can seem intimidating - you can just heat the milk to JUST boiling and then cheat by adding cornstarch dissolved in cold water to make a runny paste, in small amounts until the milk is thickened to where you would like it to be - depending if you'd like this to be soupy or quite firm as a pudding.
• do NOT be afraid to experiment.
