Rice Pudding is such an easy yet delicious recipe. It was one of the first recipes I learned to cook and this particular recipe is the original one that Mum taught me. It’s classic and simple, using basic ingredients that you’ll find in the fridge and pantry and is one of those fantastic comfort foods to warm tummies in winter.
I love this particular recipe because it doesn’t use too much sugar. I normally serve it topped with chopped fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon but the serving possibilities are endless.
I love the consistency of this pudding but a little more milk can be added if you prefer a slightly “wetter” texture. Also, don’t be tempted to cook this in a hurry because it really needs a slow, gentle simmer. The quantities used in this recipe will produce four smallish serves, so double the mixture if needed.
