Old Fashioned Rice Pudding

Miss H and I have been craving rice pudding for a few days now. Luckily Hubby got out and got some whole milk for us, so this morning I was on a mission. This recipe reminds me of my dear Great Aunt Catherine, who always had rice pudding ready when we came to visit. I have never been able to find anything close to her recipe until now.

The Ingredients 

• 1 Cup of cooked rice
• 4 cups of whole milk or half and half
• 2/3 cup of sugar
• 1/4 tsp of Salt
• 1 1/4 tsp Vanilla

Mix all the ingredients together in a nice sized pot on the stove.

 
While stirring occasionally cook on medium to low heat until it thickens enough to stand a spoon up in about 20 minutes.

 
You need to keep an eye on it but it's totally worth it. Add a bit of cinnamon if you like on the top before serving, I prefer mine plain. Let it cool just a bit, rice pudding is best if served a bit warm right after you make it.

 
It's the ultimate comfort food. The perfect stuck in the house in the snow in front of the fire snack.  

Enjoy!

I just made the Butter Chicken from PW's site and now I'm seriously thinking about jumping on the Rice Pudding train and making that for dessert... maybe not today what with the rice going with the BC! But I LOVE RP. It really is a comfort food :)

Hi! I just discovered your blog, the rice pudding looks SO good! I'm sure I'll be giving that a try this weekend.

I read an earlier post about your dog, sorry to hear. I just got my first pup of my own this past weekend, and already I can't imagine if anything were to happen to her.

My mom always made rice pudding when I was growing up and I loved it except that she put raisins in it. Now I make the same recipe but without those funny California raisins guys in it. I always sprinkle a bit of nutmeg on top. YUMMERS!
