Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm milk, butter, ginger, ¾ cup sugar and salt just until butter melts; cool slightly. Butter a 4-to-6-cup baking dish; put rice in it.

  2. Step 2

    Add eggs to cooled milk mixture and whisk; pour mixture over rice. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until custard is set but still a little wobbly. If you like, sprinkle top with extra sugar and run under broiler for about 30 seconds. Serve warm or at room temperature.
