Swedish Rice Pudding
This rice pudding, a favorite with Swedes in our Swedish organization, is creamy on top and dense on the bottom. Serve with whipping cream and/or sweetened berries, if desired.

Description
-
Bring water and rice to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
-
Stir milk into cooked rice until evenly combined. Mix in beaten eggs, sugar, pudding mix, butter, vanilla, and salt until incorporated; transfer to the prepared baking dish.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into pudding comes out clean, about 1 hour.
