Told to my mom by a very old lady at the Swedish Vasa lodge in the 1970s, who said it was her old family recipe. I added the almond according to tradition, as well as a modern twist of 3/8 c cardamom, a very popular spice in Sweden. Serve this on Christmas Eve. Whoever gets the almond will have good luck all year!
1 Cook rice and salt in the water (simmer it) until water is absorbed (15-20 mins).
2 Add milk, bring to almost boiling, cook until creamy.
3 In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with 3/4 cup (ONLY) of the sugar, adding the sugar gradually, then mix in the cornstarch.
4 Pour a little of the hot millk mixture into the egg mixture, and mix, then dump the egg mixture into the pot of milk mixture. Add the cardamom, and mix thoroughly.
5 Cook (but don't boil) 5 mins, stirring, then add the almond.
6 Put in a casserole dish, and put that in a baking dish that has an inch of water in it. Bake at 350 for an hour, stirring occasionally.
7 Then beat egg whites with the remaining 1/4 c sugar till stiff. Spread this on the rice pudding. Bake about 10 mins or until browned at 400. Chill and serve cold.
