Rice Pudding Recipe

Rice pudding is one of the first desserts a child should learn to make,

as it is so little trouble and always a favorite. She should first beat

up thoroughly two eggs; add half a cupful of sugar, two cupfuls of milk,

a little nutmeg, and stir through two cupfuls of cooked rice. If the

rice has been standing long enough to stiffen, then, after washing her

hands, she will have to work the rice through the custard with her

fingers in order to remove any lumps. A half cupful of raisins or dried

currants stirred in after the pudding is in the baking-dish will make it

just that much nicer. In baking, leave in the oven until the pudding is

firm, which will show when a silver knife stuck in the middle comes out

clean. A custard is never baked enough that sticks to the knife and

leaves it milky.
