I'm posting two...one for my mom's EASY rice pudding, and one of bread pudding that was a best-seller
at the restaurant I worked at. We served both with warm vanilla sauce (canned vanilla pudding, diluted 3
to 1 with milk, and warmed - "Thank You" brand canned pudding is THE best!).
MOOSER'S RICE PUDDING
1 c. uncooked rice
1 2/2 c. milk
2 Tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1/3 - 1/2 c. sugar
1/4 cup raisins, optional
(nutmeg for the top)
Cook rice in 2 cups water. Mix the rest of the ingredients well, add them
to the rice in the pan. Bring to a boil, let boil 1 minute, then remove from heat.
Put in a large glass bowl or individual serving dishes, chill in the fridge. Enjoy!
CAFE BREAD PUDDING
8 eggs
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 qts. milk (6 cups)
4 oz. butter or margarine (1 stick)
8 slices cubed bread
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1. In a bowl, beat eggs, sugar, salt & vanilla together.
2. In a pan, scald milk and melt butter, just float the stick in the milk.
Add this to the egg mixture and blend well to make custard.
3. Place cubed bread in the bottom of a greased, large lasagna pan, pour the
custard mix over the bread, and sprinkle the top with nutmeg.
4. Place the pan on a tray of HOT water, and bake at 350* F for 45 minutes, or
until set.
We baked ours in a convection oven, so yours may take a tad longer in a regular
oven. I give mine an extra 10 - 15 minutes to set.
ENJOY! TRULY comfort food! :)

Gosh, all of these recipes sound good :) Thanks girls for sharing, more to try!
Connie, I'm so sorry you are in pain, I am praying for you!
Mara, I love what your Grandma said, so sweet. Even though I have a honey, I'll have to try that on him 
Tapioca Pudding is my comfort food. When I know I have to have dental work done I make a batch the day before. My Mom used to put peaches in hers.
If anyone is interested I have a recipe for Butterscotch Tapioca that is SO GOOD! Let me know and I will be happy to post it :)

Thanks for your well wishes ladies. I am mending. I am also very grateful I don't have small children to tend or a demanding husband! I've been resting and sleeping. I'm only up for potty breaks and to drink broth.
I can't wait to feel well enough to make one of these recipes! I think I may eat the whole thing all by myself!
There was a study about what smell men found most attractive. Guess what? It was vanilla! Grandma was right.

Thanks ladies for posting those recipes! A few months back, I found some Rice Pudding in a box (Uncle Ben's) which was the first Rice Pudding I've ever had (and the only) It was really really good, but I haven't been able to find it again! I'll get to fixing some today thanks to your recipes!!!

Connie, I hope you get well very soon. That sounds awful!
Ginny, it's interesting that your family had a tradition of having rice pudding on Christmas Eve. That was true for my family as well. You might have noticed a reference to Yule in my grandmother's recipe (which she got from her mother-in-law, who got it from the Old Country, I guess).
I remember discussing rice pudding recipes with a Danish friend who told me about a similar recipe and tradition in her culture. Apparently Sweden has one, also. It's really interesting, isn't it?
Oh and tapioca pudding! My goodness what memories that brings back. We used to make the "Minute Tapioca' recipe right off the box, often using the variation for "fluffy tapioca." When I make it now -- too infrequently! -- I use a lot more vanilla than the recipe calls for.
Is there some other kind of vanilla besides real? :-) I refresh my supply every year during the holidays at the gift shop that recently replaced our ancient Main Street drug store. Just as the family who ran it has done for 100 years or more, the current generation still make it themselves and sell it in glass bottles of the kind that cough medicines used to come in. It's really really good stuff. Someday I'll have to go back to my old routine of stashing a couple of split vanilla beans in the sugar jar and giving it a stir once in a while to impart a subtle vanilla flavor to the sugar. I remember my grandma (the rice pudding one) saying there was no finer perfume than a dab of vanilla behind each ear if you wanted to catch a man worth catching. I believe she was right! :-) |

Oh Connie, I had no idea how sick you were. I hope by the time you read this, you will be on the mend. And yes, we will all celebrate with rice or tapioca pudding!

Oh tapioca! I bet I could swallow that too. Just wish I felt like cooking something! Found out I have cocksackie virus complements of my granddaughter. Blisters on the back of my throat that burn! It is a shame i haven't lost my appetite cause it is impossible to eat. Whine, whine,whine. Yew, I bet that would burn!

When I was young, Mom made Tapioca pudding...never rice. In nurses training, that was my first taste. Most of the other girls were familiar with it, and they had their comments about what we were eating. I, like Nini purchased a tub to eat. I think I will make your recipes and have my own. I'm sure it is better than the store-boughten stuff. Thank you for being generous with your recipes. Most grandmas had wonderful recipes passed down for many generations. Thanks again!

Ohhhh! This is SO awesome! Thank you SO much for asking, Elaine! AND for sharing your recipes, girls! My grandma used to make the BEST rice pudding, but sadly, nobody ever wrote down the recipe! My secret "sin" is buying a tub of the premade stuff every once in a while - just for me. It's not as good, but it's good enough! Now I have some WONDERFUL recipes to try for a good old-fashioned homemade version! Thank you for "saving" me, girls! You ROCK! Hugs - Nini

Ginny, This is the way i remember rice pudding being made by my mother. More of a baked custard. I guess I'll have to make both of them!

I forgot to mention but when we serve it, that is when we put cinnamon and nutmeg on it rather than bake it in.

I guess you didn't need to wait for me to get it together but now you can have another one to try! Here's a recipe from my great-grandmother.
1/2 C rice boiled in water with a bit of salt (we use brown rice but it's orginially for white)
4 eggs beaten slightly
3 C whole milk
1/2 C sugar
1/2teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon Butter
1 Tablespoon orange juice
1 Teaspoon vanillia (we use real vanilla)
Once the rice is cooked from boiling, mix all the ingredients and put into a cassarole dish. Bake 1 1/2 hours at 350. Let stand a while after baking (at least 15 minutes). Do not cover it while it bakes.
Traditionally we have this every Christmas Eve. In fact, my daughter grew up leaving this for the Tomte's rather than cookies for Santa. We also put one shelled plain almond in it and whoever gets the almond gets to pass out Christmas presents. Early versions of the almond say whoever gets it will marry next.

I LOVE rice pudding. I dont really have a recipe. We just throw stuff together and cook it. I use white rice and boil it with milk and canned milk. Add a little salt. Keep checking and add more regular milk as needed. Sweeten to taste with sugar and add a liberal amount of cinnamon and raisins towards the end of cooking. This is good hot or chilled. Its been a family favorits for generations.

I was going to post, but Sharon's recipe is the same as mine, and she beat me to it! We eat rice pudding for breakfast occasionally, but when my oldest is sick, it is the only thing he will eat!
The tears I shed then, watered the flowers I harvest now.

I have a sore throat and this sure sounds good to me right now! Cold, smooth with a little substance to fill me up with the rice. Gosh I am hungry. Tea and soup are not enough!
