Sallys Rice Pudding Recipes

ARBORIO RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Bring water, salt, and butter to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the rice, return to a boil, and then reduce the heat to the lowest setting. Shake the pan occasionally and cook until rice has absorbed the water but it still al dente, about 15 minutes.
• Bring milk, sugar, vanilla, and a few dashes of cinnamon to a simmer in a separate saucepan. Add the cooked rice and cook at a simmer over medium-low heat until rice absorbs most of the milk and mixture starts to get thick and silky, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Transfer pudding to a large bowl and cool to room temperature. Place in refrigerator until cool and set. Serve with whipped cream and a dash more cinnamon.

SALLY'S RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Fill bottom of double boiler with water, leaving enough room for water to simmer without touching the top pot. Bring to a gentle simmer over a medium-low heat.
• Pour milk and rice in top of double boiler. Cover and nest into bottom of double boiler.
• Cook for 45 minutes or until rice is done. Not all of the milk will be absorbed. Remove from stove top.
• In a bowl, beat eggs until well-combined.
• Temper the eggs by stirring a spoonful or two of the hot rice into beaten eggs. Mix quickly until completely blended. Once the eggs are slightly warmed, continue to add hot rice until about a third of the pot is now in the bowl with the eggs. This tempering will give you the rich flavor of the eggs without a scrambled egg consistency.
• Pour egg and rice mixture back into the pot. Mix well.
• Stir in sugar, vanilla and nutmeg.
• Chill and serve.
