CLASSIC RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Whisk together the egg, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Add the milk, cream, rice and salt to a medium-sized saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the rice is tender, about 20-25 minutes. Stir frequently to keep the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
• Slowly add about half a cup of the hot rice mixture to the egg mixture, whisking quickly, to temper the egg mixture.
• Add the egg mixture to the saucepan with the remaining rice mixture. Stir everything together and continue heating on low heat for about another 5-10 minutes, or until thickened. Don't boil. It will thicken quickly. Keep in mind that the mixture will continue to thicken as it cools, so you don't want it to be too thick before you take it off the heat. A touch soupy still is ok.
• Remove from heat and serve warm.

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.

HOW TO MAKE THE ABSOLUTE EASIEST RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Measure out the rice and milk. Place 1 cup uncooked short-grain or long-grain white rice, or 3 cups cooked rice in a large saucepan. Add 4 cups milk for uncooked rice, 3 cups milk for cooked rice.
• Add the flavorings. Add 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. If using vanilla bean, scrape the seeds from 1/2 vanilla bean and add the seeds and the pod into the saucepan. If using vanilla bean paste, add 1 1/2 teaspoons. Add any desired add-ins.
• Bring to a simmer. Bring the mixture to a vigorous simmer over medium-high heat, stirring frequently and scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula so that the rice does not stick.
• Simmer until the rice is tender. Reduce the heat to maintain a bare simmer and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the rice is very tender and the mixture starts to thicken, 20 to 22 minutes for uncooked rice, 10 to 12 minutes for cooked rice.
• Add the butter and vanilla extract. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract if using and 1 tablespoon unsalted butter if desired until melted. Remove the vanilla bean pod if needed. Taste and add more sugar as desired.
• Serve the rice pudding. The rice pudding will continue to thicken as it cools. Thin out with more milk if desired, and serve warm or cold.

GRANDMA'S RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Place rice and raisins in a greased 1-qt. casserole. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, sugar and nutmeg; pour over rice. , Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 45-50 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool. Pour milk over each serving if desired. Refrigerate leftovers.

INSTANT POT RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Add the rice, butter, salt, allspice and cinnamon stick to a 6-quart Instant Pot®. Turn the pot to the high saute setting (see Cook's Note). Cook, stirring frequently, until the rice is opaque but not browning, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1 cup of the milk and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until most of the milk has been absorbed and the mixture is thick and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sugar and 4 cups water, then scrape in the vanilla seeds, add the pod and stir to combine. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on low for 15 minutes.
• After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for natural release. After 10 minutes, being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid.
• Stir the rice mixture, scraping the bottom to make sure nothing is stuck. Turn the pot to the high saute setting and add the cream and remaining 4 cups milk. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a boil, 3 to 4 minutes. The mixture will be very soupy, but it will thicken as it cools.
• Transfer to a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing the plastic directly onto the surface of the pudding to keep it from forming a skin. Let sit at room temperature until thickened but still warm, 1 to 2 hours.
• Stir the pudding before serving. Top with toasted pecans, rum-soaked raisins, warm raspberry jam or cinnamon.

RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13-by-9-by-2-inch baking pan with butter.
• Using a double boiler over medium heat, cook the rice in the milk uncovered for 25 minutes, and then covered for another 25 minutes, until the rice is thoroughly cooked. If the rice is still a little too firm, let sit on the burner over low heat for another 10 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
• While the rice is cooking, make your egg mixture by combining the egg yolks, vanilla and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, combine the sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, cinnamon and nutmeg.
• Add the egg yolk mixture, dry ingredient mixture, 3 tablespoons butter and the heavy cream to the cooled rice, mixing between each addition.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Add the raisins, if using. Set the entire pan in a water bath and bake for 1 hour. If you use raisins, halfway through the baking you have to stir the bottom by sliding a knife along the sides (this is so the raisins will not gather at the bottom) without disturbing the custard. Bake until the rice pudding is no longer liquid. It will have solidified and a slight caramel colored crust will have formed on top. Cool and refrigerate until serving.

RICE PUDDING WITH DATES

Steps:

• Place the rice into a food processor or blender, and process until coarse, but not pureed. Transfer to a saucepan, and stir in the milk, sugar and dates. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until the dates are tender, about 20 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
