Ingredients:
Quantity | Ingredient |
---|---|
2 | Eggs |
4 cups | Milk |
1/2 cup | Sugar |
1 cup | White rice |
1/2 cup | Butter |
1 tsp | Vanilla essence |
1 cup | Raisins |
1/8 tsp | Ground nutmeg |
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) to ensure it’s ready when you need it.
-
Grease a 2-quart casserole dish generously, ensuring the rice pudding won’t stick.
-
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until they are well combined, then gradually add in the milk, stirring until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
-
Add the sugar, uncooked white rice, melted butter, vanilla essence, raisins, and ground nutmeg to the egg and milk mixture, stirring gently to evenly distribute all the ingredients.
-
Pour the prepared rice pudding mixture into the greased casserole dish, spreading it out evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
-
Place the dish in the preheated oven, leaving it uncovered to allow the pudding to cook and develop its delicious flavors. Bake for approximately 2 1/2 hours, remembering to stir the pudding frequently during the first hour of baking to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
-
Once the rice pudding has achieved a creamy consistency and a golden-brown hue on top, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
-
Serve the Old Fashioned Rice Pudding warm or chilled, depending on your preference, and garnish with additional nutmeg or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
-
Enjoy this timeless dessert with your loved ones, savoring each spoonful of its rich, comforting goodness.
