How to Make Old Fashioned Baked Rice Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until light and frothy.
  3. In a separate saucepan, heat 4 cups whole milk over medium heat until small bubbles form around the edges (scalded). Do not boil.
  4. Gradually whisk the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
  5. Stir in 1 cup long-grain white rice, ½ cup raisins (optional), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Grease a 1-quart casserole dish. Pour the rice pudding mixture into the prepared dish.
  7. Place the casserole dish into a larger, oven-safe dish. Carefully pour hot water into the larger dish until it comes halfway up the sides of the casserole dish (this creates a water bath for even baking).
  8. Bake for 90-100 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. The pudding should be set and slightly puffed.
  9. Let the rice pudding cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or chilled!
