Hi Barbara!

I found a recipe in the Osmond Family cookbook that I wanted to try. It is for the Baked Rice Pudding #1. I believe there is a typo on the recipe, for it calls for 2 Quarts milk, and 1/2 cup rice. I am going to assume that was suppose to be 2 CUPS milk? Thank you.

Sincerely,

Louise Hopkins

Yikes! I believe that would make really soupy rice!

I am sure it is 2 Cups, but I will forward to our Dietician to verify.

Thanks for the sharp eyes Louise!

Hi Louise,

Actually, the Baked Rice Pudding recipe is correct. Whenever you're baking uncooked rice into a pudding, the liquid always seems excessive. The rice needs enough milk to cook itself, and then the remaining milk is used to create the pudding part. If you only put in 2 cups of milk, you'd end up with undercooked rice and a burnt egg dish instead of creamy, tender pudding.

Hope this helps,

Thank you Desi!

I truly learned something new today! I am sure Louise did too!

I would have never guessed that 1/2 cup rice would ever set up in 2 quarts of milk.

But I am going to make the yummy recipe and enjoy it!! I LOVE rice pudding!

Thanks again!
