OLD-FASHIONED RICE PUDDING I
This pudding turns out in a lovely custard texture. A great balm for those seeking a return to some of the old-fashioned foods of their youth! We like it best because it is oven-baked and not made on the stove top.

RICE PUDDING
Anyone looking to try one's hand at playing around with a recipe can't do better than to start with rice pudding. I began making rice pudding with our son's babysitter, a Frenchwoman named Marie-Cécile, who cooked au pif, meaning she followed her instincts and would riff on just about everything she made. Moi? I followed Marie-Cécile's lead and have been making my own version of rice pudding regularly, but rarely with the same flavorings. Sometimes I'll stir chocolate into the pudding right before it's cooked, and often I'll top the pudding with roasted fruit. For apples, cut 2 unpeeled apples into 1/4-inch wedges. Cook 1/2 cup sugar in a nonstick skillet until amber (stir only after the sugar starts to color), add 2 tablespoons butter followed by the apples. Cook, turning the wedges, for 6 to 8 minutes, until translucent.

Steps:
- Rinse the rice under cold running water, then turn it into a medium saucepan, and cover with water. Add the salt, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain.
- Rinse the saucepan with cold water, shake out excess (don't dry) and pour in the milk and sugar. If you're using a vanilla bean, scrape the pulp into the pan and drop in the pod (if you're using extract, you'll add it later). Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Stay close: Milk is notorious for bubbling over. Lower the heat, stir in the rice and cook at a steady simmer, stirring frequently (especially at the start) for 30-40 minutes, or until the rice is very tender, the pudding feels just a little thick as you stir it and most of the milk has been absorbed (the pudding will have cooked down by about half). It's hard to give an exact time because it depends on the rice, the size of the pan and the amount of heat beneath it.
- Scrape the pudding into a heatproof bowl, and remove the vanilla bean, if you've used it. If you're using extract, stir it in now. Cover (if you want to avoid a skin, press plastic wrap against the surface of the pudding), and cool to room temperature or refrigerate. Tightly covered, the pudding will keep in the fridge for about four days; serve cold or at room temperature.

RICE PUDDING WITH GOLDEN RAISINS
Forget egg yolks and water baths. This is a simple and superb rice pudding that uses only milk, sugar, cream, rice, salt and your choice of flavorings: rum, almond extract, vanilla, orange zest, cardamom, nutmeg, anything else you can dream up. Add the raisins at the end so they don't get too mushy as the pudding cooks.

Steps:
- In a medium heavy-bottom pot, combine milk, cream, sugar, rice and salt. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean and drop them in along with the pod. Stir in cinnamon and orange peel. Bring mixture to a simmer; cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until rice is tender and mixture is slightly thickened, 30 to 40 minutes. Do not let mixture come to a boil and don't let it get too thick, because it will thicken as it cools. Stir in raisins and let pudding rest for 5 minutes to soften them.
- Serve pudding warm, room temperature or chilled, with dollops of crème fraîche, if desired.

WORLDS BEST SOUTHERN RICE PUDDING
This makes old fashioned southern rice pudding into something decadent. When I make this, I sometimes serve it with a strawberry or raspberry sauce...helps to cut the richness while at the same time adding those calories we all need so much :p I sometimes double this & in my household of 7, it lasts one full day tops. The Southern U.S. grows and eats a LOT of rice and recipes like this are much loved down here.

- In a heavy bottomed, 3 quart sauce pan, combine the milk, water, sugar, cinnamon stick and rice. Stir to combine.
- Bring to an intense simmer (just below boiling) over medium high heat, stirring often.

Tips for Making the Best Rice Pudding:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your rice pudding.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking. This will remove any starch and help the rice to cook evenly.
- Cook the rice in milk instead of water. This will give the rice pudding a richer, creamier flavor.
- Add sugar and flavorings to taste. You can use white sugar, brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup to sweeten the rice pudding. Common flavorings include vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
- Cook the rice pudding slowly and stir it frequently. This will prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
- Let the rice pudding cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to thicken.
Conclusion:
Rice pudding is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make the best rice pudding that will impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give rice pudding a try. You won't be disappointed!
