SUNDAY'S BEST RICE PUDDING (TRADITIONAL STYLE)

Sunday's Best Rice Pudding (Traditional Style) image

In memory of my dad who used to take me to Pickwick Restaurant for rice pudding every Sunday afternoon. This is the closest recipe I could find to that which was served at the restaurant: Creamy with a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg. Delicious whether served warm or cold with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. Also, if prepared ahead, rice pudding makes a quick breakfast in case you're too much in a hurry to make oatmeal.

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups white rice
3 cups water
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 cups milk, divided (for creamier results, use whole milk)
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
2/3 cup raisins (black raisins preferred)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (measure at "scant" 1/4 teaspoon)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (measure at "scant" 1/4 teaspoon)

Steps:

First, make your pot of rice. Boil 3 cups of water on high and add 1 tablespoon of butter to the water. Add the rice, and cover with a tight lid. Put the heat to low, leave covered and let cook for 15 minutes until done.
When the rice is cooked, pour into a larger saucepan. Then add 1-1/2 cups milk, sugar and salt. Put heat at medium low to keep from burning on the bottom of the pan. Stir occasionally until thick and creamy for about 15 minutes.
In a 1-cup measuring cup, blend the remaining 1/2 cup of milk with the egg. Stir into the rice mixture, and mix well. Then add the raisins. Cook for 2 more minutes, stirring constantly.
Take the pot off the heat, and add the vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon. Mix well.
You can serve the pudding warm, or let cool in the refrigerator. Sprinkle with cinnamon before serving. Enjoy!

Tips:

Use high-quality rice. Medium-grain rice, such as Arborio or Carnaroli, is best for rice pudding because it absorbs liquid well and cooks evenly.
Rinse the rice before cooking. This will remove any starch or impurities from the rice and help it cook more evenly.
Use whole milk or half-and-half for a richer flavor and texture.
Add sugar or honey to taste. You can also use other sweeteners, such as maple syrup or agave nectar.
Flavor the rice pudding with spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger. You can also add vanilla extract or almond extract.
Cook the rice pudding slowly over low heat. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from scorching.
Stir the rice pudding frequently. This will help prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Serve the rice pudding warm or cold. You can top it with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or nuts.

Conclusion:

Rice pudding is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its creamy texture, sweet flavor, and versatility, it is a perfect dessert for any occasion. These simple tips will help you make the best rice pudding every time.
