  1. this was really good and creamy i made it and added some to some cooked rice to make a yummy rice pudding.. the only problem i encountered was 1/4 tsp starch didnt thicken it very much and i ended up putting it back in the double boiler and adding about a tablespoon or more to it and then it was perfect.. i also added some cinnimon and nutmeg to the rice.. i used the whole egg not just the yolk for health factor and that may have been why it didnt thicken but its worked in other recipes to do that? i liked that it wasnt overly sweet either.. thanks it was yummy.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a full-time student at a University of Wisconsin campus, with a double major in Sociology and History. I have three adorable children, ages 9 yrs, 5 yrs, and our 2 yr old son. My nine yr old is in third grade. My 5 yr old is is in kindergarten. My littlest one is pleasantly plump. ;) We also have 2 cats. My daughter recently joined recipezaar under the name Miss Bean I also really like sewing. I make @ 1/3 of my daughters clothes. Reading is also a BIG staple in my life. One of my favorite ways to find a book is to walk into the library, pick a shelf and simply grab a book at random. I've read so many great books I probably wouldn't have found out any other way. I also like to camp and fish with my DH. He eats, sleeps and breathes fishing. He would like to one day start his own company, he hand ties and sells fishing lures locally. And he loves my cooking and will try anything at least once. ;) He works as a pressman at a local printing company. <a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v426/mangomama/animations/?action=view&current=neil_patrick_Harris.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v426/mangomama/animations/neil_patrick_Harris.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
