Praline Steamed Pudding

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the steamer and prepare the pudding basin.

   In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and butter.

   Tip: Bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking occasionally.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the rice, egg, and vanilla extract.

   Tip: Make sure the rice is well combined and there are no lumps.

4. 4

   Gradually add the warm milk mixture to the rice mixture, whisking continuously.

   Tip: Be careful not to scramble the eggs.

   Tip: Make sure the surface is smooth and even.

   Steam the pudding over boiling water for 15 minutes.

   Tip: Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the center; if it comes out clean, the pudding is ready.

   While the pudding is steaming, prepare the praline sauce and caramelized sugar.

   Tip: This will take about 10 minutes.
