Ye Olde German Rice Pudding

Recipe #301759 | 1¾ hours | 30 min prep | SERVES 28 , 28 small servings (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: kaze_no_sennyo

When my Oma passed away she left cupboard after cupboard full of old cookbooks. One of them, Das Hauswesen, was published in 1922 and was written entirely in German. Of course, I don't speak a lick of German, but I've been trying to translate the recipes anyway since I've always had an interest in authentic cuisine of any sort, especially Germany since my whole family's from there. This one was relatively easy to follow. I've made it twice now and it's very good for a different sort of treat. It's more of an eggy souflee type thing than the typical rice pudding that you're used to, but good all the same... The last time I made it I was out of almonds, so I substituted pecans and my hubby said he liked it better that way. I'm also thinking of substituting some graham cracker crumbs for the bread crumbs listed to line the baking dish. I haven't tried it yet, but I imagine it would be good. Enjoy!!
