Rice Custard
"Nice quick easy recipe to make and a great way to use left over boiled/steamed rice. NOTE - I recently broke the dish I normally cook this rice custard in and the one I use now though the same size is deeper with a small surface area and it now takes about 55 minutes to cook through."

I made this last night for dinner. It was quick and easy to make and took around 40 minutes to bake in an 8 in by 8in square dish. I used cranberries instead of the raisins-they looked so pretty when the dish was served. This was just nicely sweet, but all four of us agreed it had way to much rice in it compared to custard-I would halve the amount of cooked rice next time. -
Made this for dinner last night and was so pleased at how easy it went together, think I overcooked it (was worried about it being firm) as it was a little dry, but that was my fault and didn't change the taste. I did not use the raisens as I don't care for them, did top with whipped cream. Both DH and I enjoyed it very much. Made for the photo forum - Comfort foods.

We loved this. Great flavor and easy to make. Definitely a keeper! -
I cannot begin to describe the level of pure creamy comfort this afforded us as the snow was piling up around us last night. Perfectly sweet and lovely with added warmth from the nutmeg. Wonderful! -
This was so easy and so delicious. I accidentally only used 2 cups of milk instead of 3, but it still turned out great, just a little drier. I would like to make it again with the 3 cups so I can enjoy it in a more custardy style. Topped with homemade whipped cream and it was perfect. I cooked mine in an 8" square pan and it took 40 minutes to cook through.

I had a little over 2 cups on leftover rice, and I do like more custard so I did 4 eggs 4 cups of milk, 3/4 c sugar 1 vanilla bean and a pinch of salt. I detest nutmeg but the vanilla was very nice. I cooked it in a water bath at 355 F for about and hour and a half. Definitely will be making again!

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
