Ingredients for Easter Rice Pie

Crust:

• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
• 3 egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons of cold water

Filling:

• 1 cup of Arborio rice
• 3 cups of milk
• 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup of unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup of raisins
• 1/4 cup of chopped candied orange peel
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Add in the egg yolks and water, and mix until the dough comes together and forms a ball.
3. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4. Once chilled, roll out the dough on a floured surface until it is about 1/4 inch thick.
5. Place the dough into a 9-inch pie dish, trim off any excess dough, and crimp the edges.
6. Poke holes in the bottom of the crust with a fork and bake at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.

2. Make the Filling:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, milk, and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened, about 20 minutes.
2. Remove from heat and stir in the butter, raisins, candied orange peel, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
3. Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
4. Bake at 375°F for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
5. Let the pie cool before serving. You can also refrigerate it for a few hours before serving for a firmer consistency.

3. Serve and Enjoy!
