MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Las Vegas Hilton Rice Pudding Categories: Rice, Dairy, Fruits, Desserts, Citrus Yield: 6 Servings 1 qt Milk 3 3/4 oz Rice * 3 1/4 oz Granulated sugar 3 oz Raisins; to taste ** Cinnamon or nutmeg *** 1/2 ts Lemon zest; or less **** Cream or half & half * It has been said for rice pudding, short grain is best. I never saw any difference in long or short grain rice. The choice is yours. ** I marinate my raisins in a little white rum & white vanilla overnite. This is your option. *** The spice(s) are your choice however, always best to add at the very end when just about cooled with the cream. Another option is you can add 2 or 3 cinnamon sticks at the beginning of cooking & remove them at the end. **** This is optional, you can use a powder form if you have it. However use much less as this form is strong in flavor. Tip: Do not mix in the sugar until the last minute or so, because it is the sugar that leads to scorching. Cook on a low heat covered or slightly covered. When done remove & uncover let cool. When cooled or very, very close to reaching room temp add the cream or half & half and bring it to your consistency. That's the other secret. Now you can place the pudding into the fridge & serve it the next day. Recipe by Cass from Las Vegas Recipe FROM: http://www.recipelink.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM
