LIGHTER CREAMY VANILLA RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Grease a 1.2-litre (about 5cm deep) ovenproof baking dish (see tip, below left) and stand it on a baking tray. Tip the rice into a pan with both the sugars and all the milk. Split the ½ vanilla pod horizontally, scrape out the seeds into the pan and drop in the pod. Heat the milk, whisking. As it is about to come to the boil, immediately remove from the heat. Pour the mixture into the dish, scraping out all the rice and seeds from the bottom of the pan.
• Bake for 30 mins, then remove and stir. Return the pudding to the oven for another 30 mins. Stir again and return for a further 25-30 mins until the rice is cooked and has absorbed enough of the milk to give the mixture a creamy consistency.
• Remove the pudding, let it sit for 1-2 mins, then stir in the crème fraîche to make it extra creamy. Serve with raspberries, if you like.

LIGHTENED RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine rice and 5 cups milk; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender, 15 to 17 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, vanilla, cardamom, and remaining cup milk. Slowly pour egg mixture into rice mixture; cook over medium-low, stirring constantly, until pudding coats the back of a spoon, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat; stir in raisins. Pour pudding into a 6-quart casserole dish or large bowl; let cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour (or up to 3 days). Serve pudding garnished with more raisins and cardamom.

RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Bring rice, water and salt to a boil over med-high heat.
• Simmer covered until water has been absorbed (approximately 15 minutes).
• Stir in milk and sugar and cook uncovered over medium heat for 30-40 minutes, stirring frequently--especially towards the end of cooking.
• The pudding is done when the rice and milk have amalgamated into a thick porridge-like consistency.
• DO NOT OVERCOOK or the pudding will be solid instead of creamy once cooled.
• Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
• Turn into a bowl or cups.
• You can sprinkle cinnamon on the top if you like.
• COVER with plastic wrap directly on surface "IF" you don't want a skin.
• COOL.

RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• At least one hour prior to making rice pudding, soak the raisins in the vanilla. A longer soak of over 24 hours is optimal.
• In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring the milk, heavy cream, uncooked rice, and salt to a boil over high heat. As soon as it starts to simmer around the edge of the pan, reduce heat to the lowest temperature where you can maintain a simmer, partially covered, until the rice is tender, about 20-25 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Taste the rice to ensure it is done. You want it tender but still firm.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar. Add a ladel of the hot milk mixture to the egg mixture, whisking while pouring it in a very slow steady stream. Your goal is to bring the temperature of the egg up without curdling the egg.
• Continue to add more of the hot milk mixture to the egg mixture, whisking continually, until the egg mixture is warm.
• Add tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan of rice and milk and stir over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until thickened. This rice pudding can go from thin to too thick rather quickly, so don't leave it unattended. Also keep in mind that it will thicken even more as it cools. A temperature of 160°F will ensure the eggs are cooked all the way through.
• When done, remove from heat and stir in the pumpkin pie spice and soaked raisins.
• Serve warm or cold.

WORLD'S BEST RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Heat the butter in a 4 quart saucepan. When frothy, add the rice and cook for 1 minute. Slowly add the milk, pinch of salt, sugar, vanilla and 1/2 of the cranberries and bring to under a boil. Transfer to a 9-inch square baking pan and set in the oven. Bake uncovered for 1 1/2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes, then bake undisturbed for another 30 minutes. Then stir in the remaining 1/2 of the cranberries and bake for another 30 minutes (for a total of 2 1/2 hours).
• Variations: you can to add heavy cream in the last 30 minutes of baking. Or if you want a crusty topping, reduce sugar to 1/4 cup. Once out of oven, crumble brown sugar and butter over the rice pudding and place under the broiler until melted and bubbly.

EXTRA CREAMY RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Rinse a large saucepan with cold water. Don't dry. Set on stove-top over medium heat. Add milk. Heat milk to boiling, over medium heat, stirring regularly. WATCH CLOSELY as it nears the boil! When milk hits the boil, it will boil up and possibly over. That's not a good thing.
• When milk boils, stir in rice and keep stirring until mixture returns to the boil. Reduce heat to a shade higher than low, or whatever level on your stove allows the mixture to gently simmer (bubble breaking the surface but not too vigorously). Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring down the mixture every 10 minutes (Important that you stir it down regularly and ensure that there is no rice sticking to the bottom of the pan. You will notice that the mixture has probably formed a skin on top. Don't remove it. Just stir it back in.)
• Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, use a fork to whisk together the cream, sugar, yolks, vanilla and salt. Set aside on counter while rice is cooking, leaving fork in bowl. Set out a ladle to use, as well. I like to do this after the rice starts cooking, so that the mixture comes to room temperature by the time it's needed.
• Once milk/rice has simmered for 30 minutes, continue simmering, but stir down every 5 minutes. With each stir, start testing the done-ness of the rice by tasting a piece. You want the rice to be tender (so no hard center). **Depending on the rice you used, your mixture may start to get thick-ish at this point, with little milky liquid left. If so, add more hot milk or water to the pot, just as much as needed to loosen the mixture up, with each stir. Watch closely and don't let the mixture get dry or it will scorch. Continue cooking, stirring down and adding additional milk, as needed until the rice is tender. Most rice is generally done at about 45-50 minutes of total simmering time. A lot will depend on how vigorously your mixture is boiling, so there is no hard and fast rule. Taste testing is the best indicator.
• Once the rice is cooked, slide the pot off the heat to avoid scorching. Re-whisk your egg mixture with your fork. Using the ladle, spoon out a ladle-full of hot rice/milk mixture, taking as much liquid as possible, but not to worry if you bring some of the rice with it. With the ladle in your left hand (assuming your right-handed, if not, reverse) and using your right hand to start whisking the egg mixture with the fork, start adding the hot mixture to the eggs A DROP AT A TIME, at first, while continuously whisking with the fork. Increase to a slow stream, while whisking continuously, until the entire ladle-full has been added. Get another ladle-full of hot liquid and slowly add it to the egg mixture as well, whisking continuously. Keep adding hot liquid until you've got at least 1 1/2 cups-1 3/4 cups of now warmed liquid in your bowl. Once you have reached that point, pour the warmed egg mixture into your cooking pot.
• Return the saucepan to heat, over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring almost continuously, just until a dime-sized bubble breaks the surface of the pudding. Pudding should be noticeably thickened and saucy, but still more sauce than rice (pudding will set more in the fridge as it cools). If liquid seems almost like milk consistency (rather than heavy cream consistency), it's too thin. Cook, stirring, a little longer. **Note though that you never want to allow the mixture to vigorously boil after the egg mixture has been added, as you may end up with scrambled eggs.
• If using raisins, add to the bottom of a medium-large bowl. When pudding is cooked, immediately pour hot mixture over raisins. Stir well to combine. Allow to stand on counter for about 5 minutes, to allow the steam to reduce, then cover bowl with plastic wrap and place into the refrigerator. Allow to cool and set, at least 6 hours or preferably, over-night. Pudding will set as it cools. To serve, simply stir and spoon into bowls. Serve with a sprinkling of cinnamon, if desired. If pudding is or becomes too thick, simply add a tablespoon or so of heavy cream to mixture and stir in. If you enjoy your rice pudding warmed, you can warm slightly in the microwave or a small saucepan.
