Baked Rice Custard Pudding
This is very similar to a recipe that I can remember my grandmother preparing when I was just a wee thing (some time back when God was a boy!) The smell, the taste, the texture--they all carry me back to more innocent, more carefree times.
2 cups milk
3 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup cooked rice
1/4 cup raisins
1 tsp. vanilla extract
ground nutmeg
Scald milk. Combine beaten eggs, sugar and salt in a 1-1/2-quart casserole. Gradually stir in scalded milk. Add cooked rice, raisins and vanilla. Sprinkle with nutmeg and place in oven. Bake at 325º F. until set--about 50 to 60 minutes.
Makes 6 servings.
