OLD FASHIONED RICE PUDDING
Ingredients
Method
- Let’s talk about cooking it on the stove first. The milk, long grain rice, sugar and salt are combined in a large sauce pan and cooked over medium to low heat, stirring constantly until it boils. It’s going to take a good 10 minutes for the mixture to come up to a boil. Don’t turn the heat up to speed up the process, there’s a reason it has to come up to a boil slowly. You’ll notice there’s no eggs or flour in the recipe to thicken the pudding. The thickener comes from rice starch, which is produced by cooking the pudding slowly.
- My mom used to make this Baked Custard Style Rice Pudding all the time when we were young. She would add lots of raisins and top it with cinnamon. Just thinking about it brings back really good memories :-). I love old fashioned recipes like this. They’re warm, hearty and completely delicious. Plus, it’s one of the cheapest desserts you can make.
