3/4 c uncooked rice any rice will do, but medium grain will make a creamier pudding 1/4 c granulated sugar 2 T honey raw, preferably ½ t of salt 4-1/2 c whole milk 2 egg yolks 1 t ground cardamom 1 t pure vanilla extract Garnish: dried fruit fresh fruit, slivered almonds, toasted walnuts or dash of mace
In a 4 quart saucepan, bring milk, rice, salt, and cardamom to a boil, stirring continuously to keep it from sticking to the pan.
Reduce heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for about 15 minutes, occasionally stirring until the rice is soft.
In a separate bowl, separate then whisk the egg yolks, vanilla extract, and sugar together.
Drizzle this egg mixture into the hot rice, stirring constantly. Simmer until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Add salt to taste and transfer the cooked pudding into your serving dishes afterward.
Serve warm or chill for three hours and serve cold. Garnish as desired before serving.
