Pick and wash a pint of rice, and boil it soft. Then drain off the
water, and let the rice dry and get cold. Afterwards mix with it two
ounces of butter, and four ounces of sugar, and stir it into a quart of
rich milk. Beat four or five eggs very light, and add them gradually to
the mixture. Stir in at the last a table-spoonful of mixed nutmeg and
cinnamon. Bake it an hour in a deep dish.
A FARMER’S RICE PUDDING.
This pudding is made without eggs. Wash half a pint of rice through two
cold waters, and drain it well. Stir it raw into a quart of rich milk,
or of cream and milk mixed; adding a quarter of a pound of brown sugar,
and a table-spoonful of powdered cinnamon. Put it into a deep pan, and
bake it two hours or more. When done, the rice will be perfectly soft,
which you may ascertain by dipping a tea-spoon into the edge of the
pudding and taking out a little to try. Eat it cold.
RICE MILK.
Pick and wash half a pint of rice, and boil it in a quart of water till
it is quite soft. Then drain it, and mix it with a quart of rich milk.
You may add half a pound of whole raisins. Set it over hot coals, and
stir it frequently till it boils. When it boils hard, stir in
alternately two beaten eggs, and four large table-spoonfuls of brown
sugar. Let it continue boiling five minutes longer; then take it off,
and send it to table hot. If you put in raisins you must let it boil
till they are quite soft.
A BOILED RICE PUDDING.
Mix a quarter of a pound of ground rice with a pint of milk, and simmer
it over hot coals; stirring it all the time to prevent its being lumpy,
or burning at the bottom. When it is thick and smooth, take it off, and
pour it into an earthen pan. Mix a quarter of a pound of sugar, and a
quarter of a pound of butter with half a pint of cream or very rich
milk, and stir it into the rice; adding a powdered nutmeg, and the
grated rind of two lemons, or half a tea-spoonful of strong oil of
lemon. Beat the yolks of six eggs with the whites of two only. When the
eggs are quite light, mix them gradually with the other ingredients,
and stir the whole very hard. Butter a large bowl, or a pudding mould.
Put in the mixture; tying a cloth tightly over the top, (so that no
water can get in,) and boil it two hours. When done, turn it out into a
dish. Send it to table warm, and eat it with sweetened cream, flavoured
with a glass of brandy or white wine and a grated nutmeg.
