We have been having a great time going through Great Grandma’s cookbook and trying her recipes. Today we decided to try her Rice Pudding. A note in the cookbook says this recipe came from her mother and is one of her favorites.
We found this recipe easy to put together with a long wait. All the ingredients are combined and then put in the oven to cook for 3-3 1/2 hours. I was amazed at the ratio of rice to milk and the time it took to cook. After the first hour and for each half hour afterward the rice pudding needs to be stirred. This is a job for the adult, not the Little Chef.
After waiting so long we just had to try it without letting it cool too much! We found it to be a very creamy rice pudding. Sometimes good things come to those who wait and this recipe is one of those things. Even with the long cooking time we will be making this recipe again!

We love Rice Pudding in our home, being Scottish we don't add cinnamon, and we use cream, but I might use cinnamon next time for a different taste 🙂
