Creamy Rice Pudding
(Serves 6 to 8)
Creamy Rice Pudding
Ingredients:
3 cups whole or 2% low-fat milk
3/4 cup long-grain rice
3 cups half-and-half
3 eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup raisins or currants (optional)
Cinnamon
Directions:
In a medium saucepan, bring the milk to a simmer. Add the rice, stir to combine, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes or until the rice is tender and all the milk has been absorbed. Remove from the heat. Stir in the half-and-half and the sugar.
In a small bowl, beat the eggs until well blended; stir them into the rice mixture.
Return the saucepan to medium heat. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat a spoon, about 5 minutes. Stir in the vanilla and optional raisins or currants. Pour into a serving bowl and sprinkle the top with cinnamon. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Rice pudding is true comfort food ... sweet and creamy, this is the best rice pudding we have ever eaten. It is a simple recipe to make with just a few ingredients. The pudding is done when the rice and half-and-half have coalesced into a thick porridge-like consistency. You can vary the recipe by adding your choice of flavorings: rum, almond extract, vanilla, orange zest, cardamom, nutmeg, or anything else you can dream up. Make it even more decadent by topping it with a dollop of whipped cream.
ENTERTAINING TIP
If you don't have a set of plain white dishes, put this at the top of your must-have entertaining essentials. With white dishes and varied accessories, your table will never look the same for any occasion. In the summer, create a bright tabletop by combining your white dishes with blue and white salad plates and apple green table linens. In the fall, pair your white dishes with russet napkins and an autumn centerpiece. In winter, make them more elegant with silver and gold accessories, or make them more whimsical by adding holiday stemware and napkins.
