We tried this recipe: https://www.lanascooking.com/baked-rice-pudding/ Our modifications: first, we used cooked basmati rice and golden raisins. Second, instead of 1.5 cups sugar and zest from one lemon, we used 1.5 cups of homemade citrus-infused sugar. Third, once the baking ended, we let the custard cool for 10 mins and then sprinkled with 2 Tbsp sugar combined with 1 tsp cinnamon, and broiled on high for 2 mins. The topping didn’t fully caramelize, and we found 2 Tbsp sugar as topping quite sweet. We may reduce the sugar to 1 Tbsp or skip the topping the next time. (Aug. 2020)
Note: The blogpost has a significant typo – it says to preheat the oven to 300, but the recipe states to bake at 350. We discovered this error after an hour of baking at 300, and then baked for an additional 25 mins at 350. The correct instructions are to bake in a water bath at 350 for 90 mins.
