Creamy vanilla rice custard is just that. Perfectly cooked creamy rice, bathed in a deconstructed vanilla custard, scented with vanilla. Who doesn’t love a creamy rice custard. Yum
Creamy vanilla rice custard is a dish that we’re sure many people grew up eating. Popular in our grandmothers time and for good reason. It’s pure comfort food. We grew up eating rice custard served with cold canned peaches or apricots, and still like it that way today.
A lot of rice custards are baked, but this version is all done on the stove top.
blanch the rice
Bring a small pot of water to the boil and add rice, bringing back to the boil and then boiling for 2 minutes before straining. This removes the thin layer of starch from the surface of each grain and helps to stop the grains sticking together. It also partially cooks the rice.
cold butter
Adding in cold butter straight from the fridge brings the temperature of the rice custard down just enough so you can add the egg yolks without cooking them.
egg yolks
Adding the egg yolks to the milk, sugar and vanilla completes the ingredients for making a custard, except the yolks are added at the end of the cooking process, rather than at the beginning.
