I love rice pudding. It reminds me of my grandmother. She used to take me to this little diner for a bowl of rice pudding. And they always poured a bit of cream on it with a little dash of cinnamon. Delicious. So of course it is one of my favorite things to make now for my daughter. This recipe is very easy to prepare.
2 1/2 cups of milk
1 cup of instant rice
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
In a saucepan mix 2 cups of milk, rice, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon and sugar. Bring up to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. In a bowl beat eggs, add 1/2 cup milk. Slowly add egg mixture to rice mixture, stirring vigorously. Continue to cook until thickened then add vanilla. Serve with a dash a cinnamon. I also like to pour a little bit of cream over top.
