Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring water and rice to a boil. Reduce heat to low, stir, cover, and simmer until the water is absorbed. (approx. 20 minutes)

02

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

03

Step

In a bowl, beat ½ cup sugar and egg yolks together. Beat in cornstarch and salt, continuing to beat. Gradually beat in milk. Stir in cooked rice, raisins, and lemon juice. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and place it inside a larger baking pan. Fill the larger pan with water, reaching 1 inch up the sides of the smaller dish.

04

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the pudding is creamy and most of the liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally. (approx. 1 hour, 30 minutes). Add more water to the larger baking pan as needed to maintain the level.

05

Step

Meanwhile, in a clean glass or ceramic bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in ¼ cup sugar, continuing to beat until the meringue forms stiff, glossy peaks. Remove the pudding from the oven, leaving it in the larger baking pan. Top the pudding with meringue, swirling with a spoon to create soft peaks.

06

Step

Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

07

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the meringue is golden brown. (approx. 8-10 minutes). Serve warm and enjoy!

For an extra touch of flavor, try soaking the raisins in rum or brandy before adding them to the pudding.
Ensure the egg whites are at room temperature for optimal meringue volume.
Watch the meringue carefully while baking to prevent burning. If it starts to brown too quickly, lower the oven rack or tent it loosely with foil.
