South African Baked Rice Pudding

Posted for the zaar tour 2006. Qualifies because of milk content. Nice and comforting: keep this recipe for winter as well!!

Heat oven to 325f.

Heat milk and add the cooked rice.

Whisk egg yolks in a roomy bowl with the sugar and salt , then add milk mixture slowly.

With clean beaters , beat egg whites until stiff and then fold into rice / egg yolk / milk mixture.

Add the vanilla and lemon rind , and stir through.

Ladle mixture into a greased oven dish and bake about 40 - 45 minutes or until set.
