Recipe: Baked Rice Custard

[amand_r]

I sent this recipe to paragraphs, but then I realised that it's the best cure for the winter blues.

2 c. milk
3 eggs
3/4 c sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 c. cooked rice
1/4 c raisins (OPTIONAL!)
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp cinnamon

Scald milk. Combine eggs, sugar and salt in a 1 1/2 qt. casserole dish. Stir in milk. Add rice, raisins, vanilla. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake at 325 until set (about 50-60 minutes).

If you have a big enough casserole dish, it's nice to double.

huh i could actually make that. Like - regular rice? or special rice? Because we got special rice here for that kind of stuff, that's just why I'm askin

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Regular rice. Though I use sweet rice because I have it on hand. But the recipe doesn't specify.

[cruentum.livejournal.com]

Is it meant to be eaten hot or cold?

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Both, but you'll find you like it hot out of the oven.

SO much more appetizing than poutine.

I have everything to make it too! Except raisins, which I would actually like in mine.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Make it without the raisins once. Trust me.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

LOL Okay. Does not need raisins then. :)

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

LOL I AM ANTI RAISIN!

HOW ABOUT CRANBERRIES?

Okay maybe not.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I JUST VOMITED IN HY HAND A LITTLE.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Ewwww... Okay what about nuts? That might be good? A little bit of crunch?

The one and only time I made rice pudding I thought I'd whisk the custard to make it light and fluffy.

It all separated during baking so I was left with a layer of sweet omlette and a layer of mushy rice.

Oops...

Well, the rice does tend to settle a bit to the bottom, but you scoop it out and serve whole spoonfuls of it, so it's all mixed. and the casserole dish is shallow enough that it's only about 1 1/2 inches or so. Maybe 2.

[cthonus.livejournal.com]

Tried mixing it up at the time and ended up with white rice and little solid bits of yellow custard omlette.

Might have got away with it if I'd called it egg fried rice.

This month it's slow cooker time. Except I have to keep locking the wine away so I don't drink it all before adding it.

OMG I've been looking for a good rice custard recipe. I have one with cream in it, and it leaked all over my evil oven. This one looks awesome -- thank you!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

soooooo good. Try the bread pudding one I sent, too!

[reddevilpoes.livejournal.com]

sounds yummy! But...I can only 'read' metric and centigrades.....Dumb Dutch woman here...

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

There are conversion charts out there! Nick is German, and he's making it!

[reddevilpoes.livejournal.com]

Germany isn't that far from utrecht....did I mention I am lazy...???

Aww. You are destined to languish away whilst we talk about our AWESOME DESSERTS.

is it like rice pudding? we had that last last time over at planejane's house and it was delicious! she gave me a recipe but i haven't tried to make it yet

last night, she served us spotted dick with custard!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

LOL, it's like a cross. There's definite rice in it, but it's def a custard. If you buy rice pudding at the store, it is not like this.

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

i'd never had rice pudding before - i'm pretty sure she made it from scratch and she used some... special kind of rice, not regular white rice

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

When I make this and when I make rice pudding, I use sweet rice.
