Rice Pudding

This is the exact recipe as dictated by mom, so if you need more directions or other measurements- don't ask me


milk
butter

thicken with cornstarch (1T per cup milk)

eggs (1 per 2-3 cups milk) make sure to temper the eggs-beat them in a bowl, add a little of the hot liquid a stir, add a little more hot liquid and stir, when they are the same temperature as the pot, add them to the milk/butter/cornstarch mixture

sugar
leftover cooked rice
cinnamon
nutmeg
vanilla

I was going to make this tomorrow, but when I called Mom for the recipe, we were talking about using up leftover rice and she suggested fried rice. So now we won't be having rice pudding for breakfast, we will be having fried rice for dinner.

Eggs a La Goldenrod

Every Easter this is a must for our family. It's usually a little more technicolor from using dyed eggs, but the dyes didn't seem to go through the shells as much this year. This version of the recipe makes a much smaller batch than I have ever made, but you get the general idea.


SERVES 3 -4

  1. Melt butter, add flour and stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  2. Add milk very slowly stirring as you add.
  3. Continue to stir and cook over a low heat.
  4. Cook until the mixture starts to thicken.
  5. Add salt and pepper to mixture and set aside.
  6. Peel boiled eggs and remove the yolks from the eggs.
  7. Chop the whites of the eggs and add them to the white sauce.
  8. Toast bread and slice it diagonally.
  9. Arrange the bread slices on a plate and pour the sauce over the toast.
  10. Take a grater and grate the egg yolks over the sauce.
  11. Serve warm.
