There's too much liquid , you're going to say. Trust me....this will work out to be the creamiest rice pudding you've ever made. Stir once in a while to prevent any rice from sticking to the bottom, and use a large pot to avoid the mixture from boiling over. Short grain rice will produce a creamier pudding then brown or long grain. The cooking time may seem long and tedious, but because it cooks at the lowest setting, it does not need constant supervision. Another wonderful recipe from her Heart Smart Cookbook. Ingredients:
1 cup water |
1/2 cup rice, short-grain is best |
1/3 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon cornstarch |
1/16 teaspoon salt |
5 cups milk, divided |
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg |
1/4 cup raisins |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 tablespoon cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add rice. Cover and return to the boil. Reduce to simmering and cook, covered, for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed.
2. Combine sugar, cornstarch and salt in a bowl. Whisk in 1 cup of the milk stirring until smooth.
3. Add sugar mixture, remaining 4 cups of milk, nutmeg and raisins to the rice. Stir well and bring to a boil.
4. Reduce to the lowest simmer setting, and cook, covered for 1 - 1-1/2 hours, or until mixture is creamy and tender. Stirring occasionally. Stir in vanilla.
5. Serve warm or cold, with a sprinkling of cinnamon.
