I am making it again today. It is a really easy, tasty rice pudding. My In-Laws like to have grated chocolate on it. Thanks so much for posting this! It is my go-to rice pudding recipe.

Thanks,

Barb

6 c (1 1/2 quarts) milk (Note that 4 cups are used first, followed by 2 cups)

1 c Sugar (I use less)

1/4 ts Salt

1 Vanilla bean, split

2 ts Pure vanilla extract

2/3 c Long-grain white rice

1 lg Egg

2 lg Egg yolks

1/2 c Raisins

Ground cinnamon

Preparation

Rinse a heavy saucepan with cold water; leave wet. Place 4 cups of the milk, the sugar, salt and vanilla bean in the pan (if using vanilla extract, do not add it now).

Cover and bring slowly to a boil. Stir in the rice with a large fork. Cover and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the rice is quite tender, about 40 minutes.

Remove the vanilla bean; scrape the seeds into the rice mixture and stir in.

Preheat the oven to 400 F, with a rack in the center. Butter a 12-inch oval pudding or gratin dish or other large shallow baking dish. In a bowl, beat the egg, egg yolks and the remaining 2 cups milk until combined (if you are using vanilla extract, add it now).

Add this mixture and the raisins to the rice and stir to combine.

Pour into the prepared baking dish. Set the baking dish in a roasting pan, and place in the oven. Pour enough hot tap water into the roasting pan to reach about halfway up the sides of the baking dish.

Bake for 25 minutes. Stir the pudding gently with a fork to redistribute the rice. Bake for another 25 minutes.

Stir again; lightly sprinkle the surface of the pudding with the cinnamon. Bake until the top of the pudding has crusted over lightly and is spotted with gold; the pudding should still be slightly liquid, another 25 minutes.

(The total baking time is about 1 1/4 hours. The timing can vary based on the depth and size of the baking dish; do not overbake.)

Remove the pudding from the water bath and cool on a wire rack. Serve lukewarm or slightly chilled.

I LOVE rice pudding! This looks terrific! Question: What kind of milk did you both use?

I never have anything but skim in the house... but for a custard type dessert it seems like I would maybe need to buy something else?

 
I say if you're going to sin you may as well enjoy it. I always use whole milk for custards

and puddings. You don't get the creaminess you crave with skim.

 
I used 2%; Worked fine. It was Yummy! (Notice the past tense....WAS yummy! We really enjoyed it
