Ingredients
1/2 cup raisins (or other dried fruit)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup water
1/2 cup nonfat dry milk
2/3 cup white rice (regular, raw, enriched)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 cups water (warm)
1 teaspoon butter (or margarine, optional)
Steps
- Combine rice, water, and butter or margarine (if using) in large casserole. Cover loosely so steam will escape.
- Cook in microwave on high for 5 minutes or until mixture comes to boil. Reduce setting to defrost (50% power), and cook additional 10 minutes.
- While the rice is cooking, mix together the other ingredients in a bowl.
- Without allowing rice to cool, remove cover and quickly stir the dry milk-raisin mixture into hot rice. Cover loosely again and continue cooking on defrost (50%) for 10 minutes. After cooking time is finished, let pudding sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Stir gently and put in individual serving dishes.
- Eat warm and refrigerate leftover within 2 hours, or cover and refrigerate immediately. Enjoy the refrigerated pudding within 2 days.
