BEST EVER RICE CUSTARD PUDDING

Steps:

• Beat eggs and salt a little, add sugar then milk with splash of vanilla essence (optional). Put rice or sago in a buttered dish, pour over the egg mixture and sprinkle with a pinch of nutmeg (optional). Set in a dish of water and bake slowly in the oven at 160 c (325F) until custard sets.
• Extra Info: The milk in New Zealand is not watered down, still has cream in it, making it a creamy rice pudding. If not in NZ or Australia, then you can use Half and Half. I also add sultanas (raisins) to this recipe on occasion, which I cook to plump, with the rice beforehand. Sometimes I dot the top of the rice pudding with knobs of butter in order to get a brown skin.

RICE CUSTARD

Steps:

• Combine rice, water, and salt in a medium pot. Cover, bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook, covered, until water has been absorbed and rice is very soft, about 15 minutes.
• While the rice cooks, whisk eggs, sugar, orange peel, vanilla extract, and nutmeg together in a large bowl until foamy and pale yellow.
• Once rice is fully cooked and most of the water is absorbed, stir in the heavy cream. Return to a boil then reduce to a simmer.
• Slowly pour a ladleful, about 1/2 cup, of the hot rice and cream into the egg mixture while constantly whisking. Repeat as needed until the egg mixture is close to the same temperature as the rice and add it to the pot.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly and making sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the pot, until the custard has thickened and coats the back of your spoon, about 15 minutes.
• Transfer to a large bowl or eight 4-ounce ramekins and refrigerate for at least 8 hours before serving. Before serving top with a little extra freshly grated nutmeg.

STOVE-TOP RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan combine the milk, rice, and salt. Place saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to medium or medium-low and simmer until the rice is tender (about 25 minutes). To prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan, stir the mixture frequently with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
• When the rice is tender remove from heat and add the sugar and ground cinnamon. Return to heat and cook until the pudding thickens, about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract. Spoon the pudding into your seeving bowls.
• If you like your pudding hot, eat it now.
• If you like your pudding cool, cover it with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours. Remember that the longer you keep it in the fridge, the drier it will become.

CREAMY HOMEMADE RICE PUDDING, PRESSURE COOKER STYLE RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Note: I use an 8-quart electric pressure cooker. I have used a stovetop version, and I would follow the same steps if that is what you have. In the pressure cooker pot, combine rice, sugar, salt, cinnamon and milk. For an electric pressure cooker, select saute/brown and bring to a boil, stirring constantly to dissolve sugar. For a stovetop, bring to a boil on medium-high heat, stirring often. As soon as the mixture comes to a boil, cover and lock lid in place. Select Low Pressure and set timer for 16 minutes. While rice is cooking, whisk eggs with half and half and vanilla, set aside. When the beep sounds, turn off pressure cooker, wait 10 minutes and then use a quick pressure release. Carefully remove the lid. Stir the rice in pot. Stir the egg mixture into the pot. Select saute/brown and cook uncovered until mixture just starts to boil. Turn off pressure cooker. Stir in raisins. Serve immediately, or pour into servings dishes cool then chill. (Pudding will thicken as it cools. I prefer my rice pudding to be warm. For leftover rice pudding, splash a little whole milk and microwave for about 1 minutes. Stir and enjoy!
