For Patty, in the spirit of making deliciousness out of aggravation.
- 1 lb. rice
- 4-5 lemons
- 6-8 eggs
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- 1 pie crust (storebought or your own recipe)
Cook rice the night before, rinse well and cool in the refrigerator.
Beat eggs. Add sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Grate lemons and add all rind with juice from lemons. Add rice. Mixture should be really soupy. Add another egg or two if necessary.
Pour into pie crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Insert knife – should come out clean.

Oh yum.
Mmmmm. Something to do with all the lemons on my backyard tree.
Can’t wait to try this! Thanks for parting with it.
Rice? Pie? Really? For real? I’m sure it’s good, I just have to wrap my head around this concept (and the pie tin).
VERY intrigued! Never made anything like this before!
I’m with binkytowne. I can’t quite figure out if sweet rice is a good thing or not.
Sounds awesome! Kind of like rice pudding or custard in a pie. Coconut custard minus the coconut plus rice. I think I am going to try this this week. When it snows all I think about is baking. Thanks for the recipe.
