Baked Puddings

Baked puddings are custards that contain additional ingredients, usually in large quantities. Bread pudding, for example, is made by pouring a custard mixture over pieces of bread in a pan and baking it in the oven. Rice pudding, another popular item, is made of cooked rice and custard.

The procedure for making baked puddings is the same as for making baked custard. A water bath may not be necessary if the starch content of the pudding is high.

Soft pie fillings, such as pumpkin, could also be considered baked puddings.
