rice pudding, was Vanilla Pudding??????

[Guest guest]

Since I usually cook by either not using recipes, or else by

consulting a bunch of cookbooks and then making up a recipe as I go,

here's what I do to make rice pudding.

 

Cook rice in extra water -- double the usual amount or more (1 cup

rice, 4 cups water). If I have the ingredients on hand, I cook it in

rice milk or soy milk with raisins. Or if I'm using leftover rice, I

simmer it in a generous amount of water or soy or rice milk (enough

to cover plus an inch or two) plus raisins. After turning off the

stove, let it sit for a while, covered, to let the rice become a

gooey mass. Finally, add cinnamon, vanilla, maple syrup, dates, or

other flavorings to taste.

 

Sometimes when I have leftover rice that's still warm, I put about a

cup of rice in a 1.5-cup container, add a small handful of raisins,

fill with vanilla soy or rice milk, and put in the refrigerator after

I'm finished with kitchen cleanup. Then I have a sort of rice pudding

(the warm rice absorbs lots of liquid, and the raisins plump up) with

no extra effort.
