Baked versus Stovetop

Making this rice pudding from scratch always brings me back to my childhood, grandma would stir that pudding for over an hour on the stovetop.


I love rice pudding and in a pinch, this came out great like baked custard with creamy soft rice.


Cooking this in a baking pan with an inch of water in it did make this have that old fashioned flavor and perfect custard base for the rice.


There are 10 minutes of cooking this on the stovetop to soften the rice, then the whole pudding takes around 25 minutes for baking and so much easier.


I love mine warm sprinkled with cinnamon or nutmeg, you can leave the raisins out if you're not a fan or add them after it's cooked with fruits.

Serving Suggestions:

• raisins or craisins can be added
• after baking freshly diced apples
• after baking chopped cherries
• after baking diced fresh peaches
• whipped cream
• sprinkle the top with nutmeg, cinnamon, or cinnamon sugar
• red raspberries or blackberries

2. larger baking pan for water bath
3. wooden spoon for stirring
4. measuring cups
5. measuring spoons

Tips

• spray your casserole dish with cooking spray

• when done baking cover the top with wax paper until cooled
• slowing pour the beaten eggs into the rice mixture
• always use the water bath method when baking see photos
• use white or brown quick-cooking rice like Minute Rice
