Traditional Rice Pudding
This is an old recipe that is great to serve for a wholesome breakfast, gurgling-stomach snack, or a dessert. You can serve it cold, warmed and with yogurt, fruit or top with whipped cream. I have made this in the evening when the kids are in bed so it is ready to heat up for a yummy breakfast with cut up fruit and maple syrup.
- 1/2 cups short grain rice
- 4 cups milk
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- dash of cinnamon
Put the rice, milk, vanilla and sugar in an uncovered saucepan over medium-love heat. Cook stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. It does need attention – so you will need to stir and cook until rice has absorbed almost of the milk (about 50 mins) – similar to cooking risotto.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with cinnamon. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap or place in tupperware. Serve cold or warmed with fruit, milk, whipped cream or any creative topping.
