My Mothers Rice Pudding Food

RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a heavy bottomed, 3 quart sauce pan, combine the milk, water, sugar, cinnamon stick and rice. Stir to combine.
• Bring to an intense simmer (just below boiling) over medium high heat, stirring often. Reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer and continue cooking, stirring often until the rice is tender, about 35 to 45 minutes. Some liquid will remain. The mixture should have the consistency of a thin oatmeal but will continue to thicken as it cools.
• Remove from heat and remove the cinnamon stick. Stir in the vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract and raisins, if using.
• Spoon the rice pudding into individual ramekins or small containers OR transfer to a large serving dish. Let the pudding cool slightly before serving or let cool to room temperature, cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 1 day in advance.
• Just before serving, top with freshly grated cinnamon or ground cinnamon. Pudding can be enjoyed warm or cooled.

MOM'S BAKED RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Turn oven to 325F and grease large casserole dish.
• Pour in first 5 ingredients and stir well. It will look like a lot of milk but it isn't too much.
• If you want raisins and cinnamon stir it in now. I never put them in as my family prefers it without.
• Dot the top of the ingredients with chunks of butter.
• Bake for 2-3 hours. Stir every 15 minutes for the first hour and then just let it cook. Check it at 2 hours and if it is getting dry add another cup of milk and stir. Taste test to be sure rice is cooked.
• It will get a nice brown skin on top. You can remove it but I like to stir it in as I serve it. It is very flavourful.
• Enjoy!
