How is creamy dreamy rice pudding made…
Here are the easy directions:
- Cook instant long grain rice in the microwave or according to directions. Fluff up with fork and measure 1 1/2 cups cooked rice. Save the rest for another favorite rice dish.
- In a large saucepan, combine the milk, rice, sugar, butter, and salt. Stir and cook over a medium heat. As soon as the mixture starts to thicken, about 5 to 7 minutes, take about 3 tablespoons out and mix with beaten egg to temper the egg. Whisk together then pour back into pan. Whisk fast to incorporate the egg mixture. Continue to cook the rice pudding until it comes to a gentle boil. Keep whisking so it doesn’t burn. When thickened, take off heat and add vanilla. Whisk gently. You can eat warm or let cool. Once cooled. Store in fridge up to 2 days.
- If pudding becomes too thick, you can thin out with a few tablespoons of milk.
