Creamy Rice by Leone L.

This is just rice pudding.  I am not a huge fan of rice pudding, but, if you like it, this is pretty good.  As advertised, it is creamy, and the flavor is good too.  I just don't like the little rice pieces.

Creamy Rice, by Leone L.

2/3 c rice

1 1/2 c hot water

1/2 tsp salt

1 T butter or margarine

1 qt cold whole milk

2/3 c sugar

1/4 tsp nutmeg

3 eggs

Wash the rice in hot water.  Combine rice, water, salt, and butter in a heavy pan; cover and cook on low for 7 minutes.  Add milk, sugar, and nutmeg; and boil slowly, stirring often, until the rice is done.  Lightly beat the eggs, slowly add some of the hot milk, beat quickly, to temper the eggs.  Remove rice from the stove and add the eggs, beating well.  Do not boil, or it will curdle instead of being creamy.  If it is too thick, you can add a little milk while it is still hot.
