I cheat and just use condensed milk it works for me, I also use Italian rice if I have any that way I can skip the condensed milk as it's creamy already.

You will find that if you were to use short grained rice you will have a better tasting rice pudding. Long grain rice is polished to keep it from sticking to itself. The short grain varieties haven't been polished and cook up to a more tender rice. Plus the small particles that flake off will create a creamier pudding. I have a recipe somewhere for a rice pudding custard. The rice is cooked, eggs, butter, vanilla, and sugar are added and then it baked in the oven while sitting in a pan of water. Incredible. I'll try and locate it.

As promised.

CUSTARD RAISIN RICE PUDDING

1/2 c. rice
1 qt. milk
1/2 c. raisins
1/3 c. butter
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. salt
Cinnamon or nutmeg

Mix rice with 2 cups milk. Cook until tender. Add raisins and butter. Combine eggs, sugar, vanilla, salt and remaining milk. Stir into hot rice mixture. Pour into greased 1 1/2 quart baking dish. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Set in pan and fill pan half full of warm water. Bake in 350 oven for about 30 minutes until set. 6 servings.

Don't use long grained rice. Look for short grained or even Jasmine rice. The taste and the texture will be much improved. The hard surface of polished long grain does not absorb the flavors as well.

With over sixty years of face feeding experience I know what works.
