This is a recipe that I hadn't used in years until Dar reminded me of it. I think it makes the best rice custard pudding ever. When I cooked the rice for it I substituted coconut milk for the water.
Old Fashion Egg Custard Rice Pudding
6 eggs
1 cup sugar
3 cups milk
1 tbs vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups cooked short or medium grain rice
1 cup golden raisins
Blend eggs, sugar, milk, vanilla, salt then add cooked rice and raisins. Pour into buttered 4 qt casserole dish. Place in pan of water and bake in oven for 1 hour 30 minutes. After 45 minutes stir thoroughly and allow to finish baking. Remove from oven and set on cooling rack. Top will be a beautiful golden yellow. Sprinkle with cinnamon and allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
Some recipes I've seen call for slightly less time but I made this one tonight baking for an hour and 30 minutes and it came out beautifully. When it has cooled slightly you will be able to cut it and serve with cake server. Hope's oldest son came by a little while ago and when he tasted it he could only say "oh, wow".
