Rice Pudding

INGREDIENTS

2 1/2 cups (600 ml) of whole milk

1/3 cup (66 grams) of uncooked short grain white rice

Pinch of salt

1 egg

1/4 cup (50 grams) dark brown sugar

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon

1/3 cup (40 grams) raisins

METHOD

1 In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring the milk, rice and salt to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the rice is tender, about 20-25 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

2 In a small mixing bowl, whisk together egg and brown sugar until well mixed. Add a half cup of the hot rice mixture to the egg mixture, a tablespoon at a time, vigorously whisking to incorporate.

3 Add egg mixture back into the saucepan of rice and milk and stir, on low heat, for 10 minutes or so, until thickened. Be careful not to have the mixture come to a boil at this point. Stir in the vanilla. Remove from heat and stir in the raisins and cinnamon.

Serve warm or cold.
