Back in 1946 I worked with a cook who had worked at Horn and Hardart's I
alway's loved their Rice Pudding and asked him if he could cut the recipe he
made down to family size. He said he would and there was on thing he
wanted me to remember. It was the size of the eggs that made the rice pudding
more custard like. I was more for creamy and used small eggs.
Rice Pudding
1 cup of rice cooked according to package directions
4 cups of milk
2 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1 teas. Vanilla
1 cup of evaporated milk
1 cup of water
3/4 cup raisins
Cinnamon
Combine and cook first 5 ingredients on top of stove for 1/2 hour
Add evaporated milk, water, and raisins and cook another half hour until
thickened. Sprinkle with cinnamon on top.
If you don't like raisins leave them out
This recipe has been in the back of my cookbook all these years and loved
by everyone who remembers the Old Horn and Hardart's Not many of us left
