Rice Pudding

 

This recipe is adapted from the cookbook "The official cookbook of Downton Abbey" by Annie Gray.  It is easy to make and not too sweet. I did add an extra teaspoon of sugar the second time I made it and I added jam to the bowls when we went to eat it.  It cooks a long time at a low temperature and you are sure there must be some mistake.  There isn't.  It actually gets thick and creamy.  Give it a try.

Rice Pudding

1/2 teaspoon butter, for the cooking vessel

2 1/2 cups milk

3 Tablespoons sushi rice

3 teaspoons sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cinnamon stick

Use butter to coat 4 cup pan or dish.  Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Combine rest of ingredients in a bowl and whisk together.  Pour into the prepared pan.

Bake pudding for 3 hours uncovered and give a quick stir after 1 1/2 hours.  You know the pudding is done when the skin that has formed is golden brown and the pudding is thick.  Serve warm or refrigerate to serve later.

Ready for the oven
