Rice Pudding/ Bread Pudding

- submitted by Dahlia on 12-05-2007

This is a great dessert that can be made with leftover rice or old bread or old cake. It tastes good either warm or cold.

Ingredients
Cooked rice / Old bread pieces/ Old cake pieces- 1 cup
Eggs - 3 (beaten)
Milk - 2 1/2 cups
sugar - 3/4 cup
salt - a pinch (optional)
vanilla essence - 1 tsp
Lemon Zest - 1 tsp (optional)
Raisins - 1/2 cup
Nutmeg powder- 1 tsp
Cinnamon powder - 1 tsp

Method
1. Mix all the ingrediants in a large mixing bowl.
2. Pour into a buttered baking dish.
3. Place the baking dish in a big baking pan filled with water.
4. Bake for 45 minutes in the oven preheated to 350 degrees.
5. Check if the pudding is set by inserting a clean knife in the center. The pudding is done if the knife comes out clean with nothing sticking to it. If not, keep it in the oven for another 5 - 10 minutes and check.
6. Serve warm or cold. Some whipped cream added on top while serving will be good.

Tips
- The same recipe can be done in a pressure cooker too. Pour water in the cooker and place the bowl of mixed ingrediants. Do not put the whistle.

Hello,
Can this recipe be doubled? If so, does it change the about of time needed in the oven?

thank you

Hi Carol, Yes you can double the recipe. The time in the oven will increase. I am not able to tell you the exact time as I haven't tried it. I guess it must take about an hour or so. Just cook it until the pudding sets and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted.
