Old Fashioned Rice Pudding

Combine Ingredients: In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the uncooked rice, milk, granulated sugar, beaten egg, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well to incorporate the egg.

Bring to Boil: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.

Slow Simmer: Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 60 to 90 minutes. Stir occasionally until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened to a creamy consistency.

Prepare for Broiling: Preheat your oven’s broiler. Transfer the cooked pudding into a 9×9 inch baking dish or individual heat-safe ramekins.

Add Topping: Evenly sprinkle the brown sugar over the top of the pudding and dot with the small pieces of butter.

Broil: Place under the broiler for 2-4 minutes, watching very closely, until the sugar is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.

Serve: Let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the topping to set. Serve warm or chilled.
