There's nothing quite like a warm, homey bowl of rice pudding. The rich custard base is studded with plump raisins and flavorful cinnamon, making each bite even more delicious.

serves/makes:

ready in:
2-5 hrs

ingredients

4 eggs, beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
3 cups milk
1 1/2 cup cooked rice
1/2 cup raisins
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

directions

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish.

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, sugar, vanilla, and lemon peel until the mixture is uniform in color.

Stir in the milk, rice, and raisins. Mix well then transfer to the baking dish.

Place the baking dish in a larger dish that is filled with 1-inch of hot water.

Place in the oven and bake, uncovered, at 300 degrees F for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Stir the rice after the first 30 minutes. The rice is cooked when it is tender and has absorbed the liquid.

Combine the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over the top of the rice.

Place the baking dish in the oven under the broiler and cook until the topping has browned.

Serve warm or chilled.
