This is a recipe that my grandmother used to prepare for both my mother and me. It tastes delicious with cinnamon and is exactly like hot rice pudding!

Reviews
I doubled the recipe so it did take a little longer to thicken up. I also added some raisins when I added the milk and other ingredients. After adding the cinnamon I taste tested it and ended up adding a teaspoon of vanilla. The recipe was easy and good. Thank you for sharing
Creamy, devious and a sure kid pleaser! Hubbies too! No changes, as always, the chef knows best.
This worked out great. We used left over rice from a Chinese dinner and added raisins. Tasted great!!! Mom loved it!
Loved it! I added a little vanilla and way more than a pinch of cinnamon.
It was pretty good. the first time I made it, the rice was under cooked though. I recommend using a rice cooker for the rice, then transferring the rice into a pot on the stove.
Best I’ve had in a long time taste like mom used to make Thanks for sharing
I’ve never made rice pudding before, and I have to say that I was a bit skeptical when I saw the amounts of liquid to rice in this recipe. I followed the recipe to a “T”, and it turned out perfect . . . and it is delicious! Thanks for the recipe!
