Country Rice Pudding
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 4 1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup short-grain rice
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest, grated
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 teaspoons bourbon
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Combine cinnamon and sugar and store in a tightly covered bowl. In a heavy saucepan combine the milk, rice, sugar, nutmeg, lemon zest and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until rice is tender and mixture begins to thicken, about 20 - 25 minutes, skimming any foam that may come to the surface. Stir in the egg and cook 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat and stir in bourbon and vanilla extract. Chill before serving. Sprinkle with Cinnamon Sugar before serving.
