MERINGUE TOPPED RICE PUDDING
The key to good rice pudding is its texture. So for the best rice pudding, cook it slowly. Overcooked pudding will have the texture of a solid mass rather than the creamy mixture that makes this dessert so desirable. Long-grained rice works best; try basmati, jasmine, or popcorn rice for even more variety.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a shallow 2-quart baking dish; set aside.
- In a medium-size heavy-bottom saucepan, combine rice, 3 cups milk, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thick and creamy, about 30 minutes.
- In a liquid-measuring cup, whisk together the egg yolks, remaining milk, and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Stir into rice. Add raisins and cinnamon. Cook until raisins are heated through, about 2 minutes. Pour rice mixture into the prepared baking dish. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites until foamy. Increase speed to high, and gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, cream of tartar, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Beat until stiff but not dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, spoon meringue on top of the rice, covering entirely. Transfer to the oven, and bake until the meringue is golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Steps:
- Beat the egg yolks till they are light.
- Combine rice, sugar, raisins, milk, vanilla and salt.

- Bake at 325° for 1 hour.
- Using the reserved egg whites, prepare a meringue and spread on top of rice pudding.
- Return the dish to the oven and bake until lightly browned.
Tips:
- Use short-grain or medium-grain rice for a creamier pudding.
- Soak the rice in water or milk for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove the starch and prevent the pudding from becoming gummy.
- Cook the pudding over low heat, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
- Add sugar and vanilla extract to taste. You can also add other spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger.
- For a richer pudding, use whole milk or cream instead of water.
- Top the pudding with a meringue or whipped cream before serving.
