Rice pudding recipes have a long history dating back to Medieval and Roman times, when boiled rice and milk pottages (soups) were associated with easy digestion and good nutrition. Baked rice dessert puddings as we now know them were first made in Europe in the early 1600s. They were sometimes flavored with almonds, nutmeg and other spices, but were not made as sweet as today's rice puddings. Rice pudding is a delicious dessert that can serve as an excellent compliment to any meal and it's good for you too. ~~~ Take one quart of milk, half cup of rice (boiled), four tablespoons of sugar, four eggs (separated); flavor to taste. Put milk and sugar in saucepan and let it come to a boil; then stir in the rice which has been mixed with the beaten yolks; let this boil two or three minutes; beat the whites to a froth; mix with them two tablespoons sugar; place on top of the rice and put in the oven to brown. Serve hot or cold. ~ Chef ~ Tuesday, August 9, 2011
