    Recipe Ingredients and Notes

    ½ cup long grain rice
    2 cups milk
    ¼ cup sugar
    1 tablespoon butter
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar

    • Long Grain Rice - Use white rice.
    • Milk - A whole milk will give you a richer pudding, but a low fat milk can also be used with good results. Some recipes call for using evaporated milk, I prefer to make it like my Mom made it, with whole milk and sugar.
    • Butter
    • Sugar - Only use white granulated sugar.
    • Vanilla Extract - Use 100% pure vanilla extract or a vanilla paste can be substituted.
    • Cinnamon Sugar - Mix together equal amounts of white granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Make as little or much as you like. I Keep a shaker of cinnamon sugar in my kitchen. Brown Sugar is also a very tasty substitution.

    Rice pudding is great warm or chilled. When chilled the pudding will thicken a bit. Fresh fruit or berries are also wonderful topped over the pudding.

    A small Emile Henry Baking Dish is just perfect for the amount of pudding this makes.

    The pudding can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
