Spotted Pup is an old frontier dessert made very simple due to the lack of certain ingredients which just was not available to early travelers, eggs being the most common item not readily available to travelers. So this recipe is an early version of rice pudding; also known as "Cowboy Pudding" and was made in a dutch oven over a open fire. This also works if your are out camping and have a dutch oven, but my version is more modern that can be made at home on the stove.
.
Ingredients:
2-cups uncooked white rice (I prefer jasmin rice)
1/2-cup wheat bran
2-cups slenda or sugar
3-quarts skim milk. or canned milk in equivalent amount.
1-lb raisins or other dried fruit
1-tbs nutmeg
.
Directions:
Place all ingredients in large sauce pan or dutch oven; and bring to just starting to bubble. reduce heat to simmer and stir frequently as sticking will happen real easy. when rice is done (about 20 minutes) keep stirring as this will help with the thickening; keep on low heat stirring constantly until spoon stands up on it's own, at this point the pudding is done and ready. Thats it
.
I frequently use left-over rice in a similar way it's faster and a good use of left-overs. just adjust the ingredients according to the amount of rice you have
