A smooth, creamy, classic that will remind you of days gone by.

The Backstory: One of the recipes that my cousin Rhonda shared with me is her famous, to-die-for rice pudding.  I don’t know of one person that doesn’t like this rich creamy dessert. This is one of those foods that is good any time of the day or night.  I’ll confess right here: I have gone to my refrigerator on many occasions and taken spoonfuls of this to nosh on.  No plate was needed, just the spoon. More of the Backstory after the recipe…

3. Make sure that none of the water gets into the pan of rice pudding. Use your judgement on the amount of water as it may vary according to pan size.
4. Remove from oven and let cool. Sprinkle with nutmeg and cinnamon before serving.
