Hotel Rice Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and butter a 1.5-litre baking dish. Put the pudding rice, sugar, vanilla, milk and cream in a bowl and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and grate over a generous layer of nutmeg. Bake for 1 hr 30 mins until a brown skin has formed on top and the rice is cooked and tender.
• Leave to cool slightly, then scoop the warm pudding into bowls and serve with a dollop of jam on top.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, combine 1/2 gallon milk, sugar and rice. Simmer, covered, 1 hour, stirring frequently. Remove pan from heat and let rest 10 minutes.
• In a small bowl, combine eggs, 1/4 cup milk, salt and vanilla. Stir into rice mixture and return pot to low heat, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Pour into a 9x13 inch dish and cover with plastic wrap, folding back the corners to allow the steam to escape.
• When pudding has cooled to room temperature, remove plastic wrap and sprinkle surface of pudding with cinnamon. Cover tightly (with fresh wrap) and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight before serving.

Steps:

• Put first three ingredients into a pan and boil together for four minutes.
• Put together your double boiler and in the top pan put the milk and butter. Add the hot rice mixture to this and cook in double boiler for 11/2 hours. Stir occasionally.
• Lightly beat the two eggs in a bowl and stir into them a 1/2 cup of the hot mixture. (You are tempering the eggs at this point, bringing temperature of eggs slowly up to that of hot mixture so you don't end up with scrambled eggs!) Add another 1/2 cup of hot mix to eggs and stir. Slowy add egg mixture back into the hot rice mixture a little at a time and stir well.
• Add sugar to rice and cook for a few minutes til sugar dissolves. Adjust salt now to your personal preference.
• Lower burner temperature under double boiler to lowest setting and add vanilla and raisins. Cook and stir gently for 1-2 minutes.
• Remove from heat and pour into serving dishes. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on top of bowls to taste. Serve warm or cold. Store leftovers in refrigerator.
