How to Make Norwegian Rice

  1. Heat 4 cups of whole milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it comes to a gentle boil.
  2. In a separate pot, cook 1 cup of uncooked long-grain rice in 2 cups of boiling water for about 10-12 minutes, or until almost tender but still slightly firm. Drain well.
  3. Add the cooked rice to the hot milk. Reduce heat to low, and stir constantly to prevent sticking. Simmer gently for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and has absorbed most of the milk, stirring occasionally.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, and ½ cup heavy cream until smooth and well combined.
  5. Gradually whisk the egg mixture into the simmering rice and milk. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the pudding thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes).
  6. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set.
  8. Serve chilled or warmed. Sprinkle with cinnamon for an extra touch of warmth and spice.
  9. Enjoy this delicious and heartwarming Norwegian Rice Pudding!
