Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked white rice
- 3 cups Low-fat milk
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Raisins (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the cooked white rice, low-fat milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Set the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture cook for 20 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. The pudding should thicken as it cooks.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg until fully beaten.
Add a couple of tablespoons of the warm pudding mixture to the egg and whisk quickly to temper it. This will prevent the egg from scrambling.
Gradually stir the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan of rice pudding.
Cook the pudding for an additional 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens further.
If using raisins, stir them in during the final minute of cooking.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pudding cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm or chilled, and sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon on top if desired.
