Old Fashioned Pumpkin Pudding (aka Kasha)
Description
The recipe begins by simmering white rice and millet in milk until fully cooked and softened. The grains absorb the milk, forming the base of the pudding. Pumpkin puree, sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon are stirred in to impart sweetness, depth, and spice.
The mixture is spread into a buttered ceramic baking dish and baked at 350°F until the edges are golden brown and the pudding sets. The final texture is creamy with tender grains and a smooth pumpkin flavor accented by cinnamon and vanilla.
This dish can be enjoyed warm or cooled as a comforting side or dessert. It highlights the combination of pumpkin and grains in a traditional style pudding sometimes known as kasha, providing a filling and subtly spiced result well suited for cooler seasons.
