OLD-FASHIONED CREAMY RICE
PUDDING
 
1 qt. milk
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. long-grained rice, rinsed and drained

Simmer 15 minutes.

1/2 c. raisins

Simmer 5 minutes.

1 c. evaporated milk, undiluted
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Cook 3 minutes.

Nutmeg

In heavy saucepan cook milk and salt until heated. Stir in rice. When mixture reaches boiling lower heat and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add raisins and cook until rice is done, about 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup evaporated milk; cook a few minutes longer. In mixing bowl combine eggs, sugar, vanilla and the remaining 3/4 cup evaporated milk, stir some of the rice mixture into egg mixture. Return this mixture to the one in the saucepan and cook slowly until it thickens a bit.

Pour into bowl; stir pudding often while it cools. Serve with a sprinkling of nutmeg. I add cinnamon to the mixture while it is cooking. Serves 4.

 Tai Caputo (Nevada) says:
I used 3 cups milk and 1 cup heavy whipping cream so the end result was definitely creamier. I also added a vanilla bean to the milk/cream and rice mixture while cooking, then split the bean and scraped all that great vanilla flavor right into the pan! This is a terrific recipe and is great served hot or cold. You can omit the raisins and add a dollop of whipped cream just before serving.
