Old Fashioned Rice Pudding

Old Fashioned Rice Pudding …old fashioned comfort food at it’s best! This recipe came from Taste of Home, the recipe site that makes it their business to give you fantastic recipes every day of the year anytime you need them. One time, I did a search on Taste of Home and came across this recipe for Old Fashioned Rice Pudding. I checked the recipe out, and then after I read the reviews. From there, I decided to make it. It did not disappoint. Actually, it was just what I was looking for. This old fashioned rice pudding is creamy and delicious. The pudding starts out being cooked on the stove, then poured into a buttered casserole dish, covered with foil and finished in the oven.

Let’s talk about cooking it on the stove first. The milk, long grain rice, sugar and salt are combined in a large sauce pan and cooked over medium to low heat, stirring constantly until it boils. It’s going to take a good 10 minutes for the mixture to come up to a boil. Don’t turn the heat up to speed up the process, there’s a reason it has to come up to a boil slowly. You’ll notice there’s no eggs or flour in the recipe to thicken the pudding. The thickener comes from rice starch. Cooking the pudding slowly produces it.

After the mixture has boiled, it’s placed in a buttered 1 1/2 qt baking dish and baked. It’s baked covered with foil for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Each time I took the foil off to stir I could see that the rice was plumping up and the pudding was getting thicker. At the end of the 45 minutes, my pudding was creamy and the rice tender. I decided to add the raisins and vanilla to the pudding and remove it from the oven. It didn’t need that extra 15 minutes more, it was perfect.

Old Fashioned Rice Pudding is delicious served warm or chilled. I had some from the refrigerator with a little milk stirred in and it was wonderful! Homemade goodness from our house yours,ENJOY
