Old-Fashioned Rice Pudding

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep & Combine (The Quiet Foundation)

  • Rinse rice thoroughly and drain well.

  • In a heavy-bottomed 3-quart saucepan, whisk together  milk sugar, egg, vanilla, and salt until smooth.

  • Stir in rinsed rice.

2. Simmer with Patience (The Ritual)

  • Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat (tiny bubbles at the edges, never a rolling boil).

  • Reduce heat to the lowest setting and partially cover, leaving a 1-inch gap for steam.

  • Simmer 1–1½ hours, stirring every 15 minutes with a wooden spoon and scraping the bottom to prevent scorching.

Done when:
Rice is tender (not mushy),  pudding coats the back of a spoon, and the liquid has thickened into a gentle custard.

3. Rest & Settle

  • Remove from heat and let rest 10 minutes.

  • Stir gently—no lumps, just velvety smoothness.

4. Crown with Gold (The Joye Secret!)

  • Preheat broiler to HIGH.

  • Transfer pudding to a shallow 8×8-inch ceramic or glass baking dish (metal can react with sugar).

  • Mix brown sugar and butter cubes until crumbly; sprinkle evenly over pudding.

  • Broil 2–3 minutes on the top rack, watching closely, until bubbling and deep amber.

⚠️ Do not walk away—burnt sugar happens in seconds.

5. Serve with Love

  • Let rest 5 minutes so the crust sets into crackling perfection.

  • Dust with nutmeg or cinnamon.

  • Serve warm in shallow bowls—this is a warm dessert.

  • Add whipped cream just before serving, if desired.
