Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked white rice [cooked according to package directions— I used instant rice]
- 2.5 cups milk, divided
- 1/3 cup + 1 tsp white sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoon butter/margarine
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2-1 tsp nutmeg or cinnamon
Directions
- **For yummy bit of underlying flavor, I added about 1/4 tsp cinnamon to my water when making the rice.**
- In medium saucepan, combine 2 cups cooked rice, 2 cups milk, sugar and salt. Cook over medium heat until thick and creamy, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup milk, and beaten egg. Cook 2 minutes more, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and stir in butter and vanilla. Serve warm or chilled, sprinkled with nutmeg or cinnamon.
- Also REALLY great with fresh whipped cream and a cherry, and/or a tsp or 2 of Maraschino cherry juice!
