My grandfathers, uncles, and my Dad were coal miners in the western part of Virginia and southern West Virginia - hard, honest work for minimal pay. The women in our families worked equally as hard in raising children and keeping house - and making the most wonderful meals out of the simplest ingredients! I have learned from my own cooking experience that the best part of preparing something is in sharing it with others who enjoy it, too. That is the purpose behind this blog: not only to preserve our family recipes, but to share them with others who can use and enjoy them as much as we have. Thanks for stopping by! Cris

RICE PUDDING WITH RAISINS   

Shared by Audella Evans


You will need a 9 inch oven proof dish and a second oven proof dish large enough to hold the 9 inch dish and water.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Ingredients:

1 and ½ cups of COOKED rice

1 cup milk (Half & Half or whole milk is best)

1/3 to 1/2 cup of raisins

1 egg 

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 tesp. salt

1/2 tesp. vanilla

1 tesp. ground cinnamon


Directions:

1. Combine cooked rice and raisins and put in the 9 inch oven proof dish.

2. Beat egg, milk, sugar, and salt together. 

3. Add vanilla. 

4. Pour over rice and raisins.

5. Sprinkle cinnamon evenly over the top of the rice.

6. Place the 9 inch dish in the larger dish.  Add enough hot water 2/3 of the way up the side of the 9 inch dish.

7. Bake in a 350 degree oven

     25 minutes for soft custard

     35 minutes for less custard and firmer pudding.

8. Remove from oven and immediately remove 9 inch dish from the hot water and cover  to prevent it from drying out as it cools.  If you leave the rice pudding dish in the hot water, it will continue to cook and dry out.

9. Serve with whip topping or vanilla ice cream.
