    I WISH more recipes were more right to the point. Nowadays when you go online for a recipe there’s 3 paragraphs about how Mrs. Jones loves picking daisies while sniffing the summer air as she ponders what to make for supper - which, by the way, the entire family just LOVES, but she’s not going to tell you how the hell to make it for AT LEAST 15 more sentences. - phew. Anyway, I really enjoy your channel!

    @alejandrayalanbowman367 6 лет назад +184

    This is the way my grandmother made rice pudding, except she would add a slice each of lemon and orange peel plus, of course, nutmeg. The butter melts and while it imparts a little extra flavour to the pudding, its main purpose is to float on the top and form the skin which entraps the moisture and other flavours and stops them being evaporated as the rice cooks.

  • @essemsween818
    @essemsween818 6 лет назад +13

    This is exactly how I make my Rice Pudding. Take either Long Grain or Pudding Rice, Sugar sprinkle a bit on top, Milk pour over, give a stir (or not) Butter dot across the top. Oven stick it in. Leave for 1 - 1 1/2 hrs. You can give it a stir once the Butter starts melting But, Don't bother stirring if the skin has started to form (you'll ruin the bit we all fight over) You get an amazingly dark crust formed on top that has a Toffee flavour from the Butter & Sugar mixing together. I think the other way of boiling the Rice before you add the Milk etc., is just plain weird and totally unnecessary. I bake mine in a brown enamel stoneware baking dish. You can eat it warm or cold and you can make it as lush as you want by adding some Cream over it.

    I suppose one thing you could do to cut down the baking time is to put all of the ingredients in a pan and bring up just to the boiling point, then put it in a pan to bake in a preheated oven. That would probably cut the baking time down to only 30-45 minutes, maybe less.

It was always about making best use of fuel, even in wealthier households. You see occasionally in some cookbooks recommendations for what might go in together.

      Exactly. It's like Khijidi - every household has their own recipe; like wise with alot of countries having their own version of kheer/rice pudding. Everyone is adding their own special blend of spices. Here in Canada they have something called rice pudding. Rice and sugar. Canada get's the award for the worst recipe.lol.

      Humanitarian Harjot -Hahahaha! Yup! Other rice pudding is pretty hit and miss...I recently created what I call kheer oatmeal only because it has similar flavors to the kheer I make. I cooked the oatmeal in goat milk for about 15 minutes and I added nutmeg and cardamom and stuff like that and toasted pistachios to sprinkle on top and I also carmelized diced apples in butter and honey and it was freaking amazing. The goat milk really made it have that sweet creamy kheer taste.

    I made this recipe twice in the last two days and both came out perfect! Used whole milk. The carmelization of the milk on top... mmm... The second time I deviated from the example and used vanilla instead. Wonderful, wonderful basic recipe that my wife and I truly enjoy. When plating, I did sprinkle some nutmeg on each serving. Such an easy and delicious desert. I will also speculate that by reducing the sugar to something minimum it would also make an excellent breakfast.

      That's because the Maillard effect that takes place during the baking caramelizes the starches, adding to the flavor profile.

    Never been a big fan of rice pudding, or even tapioca, but my great- grandmother in South Africa used to mix butter and flour and sugar into a stiff dough, roll it out and cut it into small pieces, then boil that in milk. This would thicken up similar to the rice pudding and be sprinkled with all-spice in the serving bowl.
    But I will try this one and see how it turns out.

    & she baked it about several different ways. The different consistencys & textures ranged from soft & creamy to dry with a little bit of crunch on the top, from lite & mild flavor to deep & rich flavor. From white in color to deep rich dark yellow almost carmel.
    Sometimes the milk would bubble up & differnt doneness, either taken off or mixed through.

    Usually with rice dishes you don't want to simply half the ratios of rice and liquid. The more rice you use the less liquid (in proportion) you need. So, if you are cutting the rice in half, cut the milk in half but add a little extra. Looks good! Wish I could have made it to Kalamazoo this year but I'm recovering from surgery. I hope all went well!

Kind of cool to think it's from such an old recipe. She always served it in a bowl with a splash of milk to cool it and make it runnier to eat then we'd stir through jam.
