Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

3/4 cup uncooked white rice
2 cups milk divided
1/3 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
2/3 cup golden raisins
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 qt whole milk
1/2 vanilla bean-split
4 oz rice

4 oz golden raisins

1 cup half and half
3 oz sugar

2 egg yolks
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 lemon zested

-In a wide, thick bottom sauce pan, combine milk, vanilla bean, and rice and place over low flame. Stir every 4-5 min. until al dente. About 20-30 min.
-Meanwhile, place raisins in sauce pan with 1 inch of water and bring to boil and remove from heat. Set aside.
-Reduce half and half in another sauce pan, being careful not to scald it.
-When rice is al dente, add sugar and the reduced half and half. Continue to cook the rice until tender. Do not overcook.
-In a bowl, combine yolks, cream and lemon zest. Add some of the hot rice mixture to warm it a little, and then add all of it back into the hot rice mixture.
-Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and remove from heat.
-Drain the raisins and add to the hot rice mixture. Scrape out the vanilla bean and gently stir in. Allow to cool overnight in a shallow pan covered with plastic wrap, or for several hours.
-Spoon into desired dishes, that are oven proof for broiling desired topping. Sprinkle with a high quality cinnamon.


I always spread a very thin layer of whipped heavy cream flavored with powdered sugar and vanilla extract over the rice pudding dishes and broil in the oven for a minute until lightly browned. But a meringue would work the same way, just more work!

Baked Rice Pudding with Meringue
cup water
1/2 cup uncooked white long-grain rice
2 beaten egg yolks
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 pinch salt
2 1/2 cups milk
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
2 egg whites
1/4 cup white sugar
1.Place the water and rice into a saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir, and reduce heat to low. Cover pan, and simmer until all water is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
2.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3.Beat the egg yolks together with 1/2 cup sugar in a mixing bowl. Add the cornstarch and salt. Continue beating, and gradually pour in the milk. Stir in the cooked rice, lemon juice, and raisins. Pour the rice mixture into a baking dish, and place inside a larger baking pan. Fill the larger pan with water to 1 inch up the sides of the dish containing the rice mixture.
4.Bake in preheated oven until the pudding is creamy and most of the liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally. If necessary, add more water to maintain the water level.
5.Meanwhile, place the egg whites in a mixing bowl and beat until soft peaks form. Continue beating, and gradually add 1/4 cup sugar. Beat until stiff peaks form. Remove the pudding from the oven, leaving it in the larger baking dish. Top pudding with the meringue, swirling with a spoon to create soft peaks.
6.Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
7.Bake in preheated oven until the meringue is golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve warm.
