Easy Rice Pudding For A Crowd Can Be Halved Recipes

EASY RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Coat a 2 quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• In the casserole dish, mix together rice, sugar and salt. Stir in milk and vanilla.
• Bake, uncovered, in preheated oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring every 20 minutes. Let stand for 30 minutes. Sprinkle top with cinnamon.

CREAMIEST RICE PUDDING

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.

EASY RICE PUDDING FOR A CROWD (CAN BE HALVED)

Steps:

• Into a large, heavy-bottomed pan, mix together all ingredients. On medium heat, stir occasionally while mixture comes to a simmer.
• Continue stirring regularly throughout the process. You don't have to stir constantly, but you can't just walk away for very long either.
• Once at a simmer turn down heat and continue to stir periodically. Allow to thicken to a creamy consistency (about 25-30 minutes).
• Don't let it get too thick. It should be only slightly thicker than a hearty cream soup. If it gets much thicker it will be too thick when it cools. Serve as desired, whether hot or cold.

HOW TO MAKE THE ABSOLUTE EASIEST RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Measure out the rice and milk. Place 1 cup uncooked short-grain or long-grain white rice, or 3 cups cooked rice in a large saucepan. Add 4 cups milk for uncooked rice, 3 cups milk for cooked rice.
• Add the flavorings. Add 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. If using vanilla bean, scrape the seeds from 1/2 vanilla bean and add the seeds and the pod into the saucepan. If using vanilla bean paste, add 1 1/2 teaspoons. Add any desired add-ins.
• Bring to a simmer. Bring the mixture to a vigorous simmer over medium-high heat, stirring frequently and scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula so that the rice does not stick.
• Simmer until the rice is tender. Reduce the heat to maintain a bare simmer and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the rice is very tender and the mixture starts to thicken, 20 to 22 minutes for uncooked rice, 10 to 12 minutes for cooked rice.
• Add the butter and vanilla extract. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract if using and 1 tablespoon unsalted butter if desired until melted. Remove the vanilla bean pod if needed. Taste and add more sugar as desired.
• Serve the rice pudding. The rice pudding will continue to thicken as it cools. Thin out with more milk if desired, and serve warm or cold.

QUICK RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Using a double boiler, put water in the bottom and heat and boil. In the top of the boiler, put 3 cups of water. When both start boiling, put the top pan on the bottom pan, and add the rice to the boiling water in the top pan.
• When boiling again, put cover on and low boil for 40 minutes. You may have to check half way through cooking and add more boiling water to the bottom pan. After the 40 minutes, add more boiling water to the bottom. Add the margerine, and the condensed milk to the rice. Stir until well blended. Cook 20 minutes longer uncovered till thick. Take off heat and add vanilla and raisens if desired.

MINUTE RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Combine last 8 ingredients in a large saucepan.
• Bring to a boil over medium high heat.
