Ingredients
- 2 cups dry rice (white or brown - I prefer basmati)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 3/4 cup raisins (black or golden)
- 3/4 cup currants
- Butter or cooking spray for greasing dish
- cinnamon sticks for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Steam rice until tender according to package instructions.
- While rice is cooking, place raisins and currants into a small pot and cover with hot water. Bring just to a boil on the stovetop, then remove from heat. Let fruit soak in the hot water to plump.
- After rice has cooked, stir in the butter till melted.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together milk, cream, egg yolks, sugar, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Pour mixture into the rice and stir till combined. Drain the raisins and currants, then fold them into the rice mixture.
- Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Pour rice mixture into the dish. Place in the oven and bake uncovered for about 45 minutes until the top of the pudding turns golden brown.
- Serve garnished with a cinnamon stick, if desired. Serve warm.
