"I consider rice pudding comfort food - good for breakfast or whenever - this recipe is similar to the one my mother used to make but was found in The Best of America's Test Kitchens 2015 It is suggested to use whole milk or 2% milk in this recipe - not to use skim."

This is a fantastic rice pudding recipe, it's so easy to put together and turns out so nice and creamy. I did add a couple of handful of raisins to it just before cooling.

Ten stars!!!Being Hispanic, I think a love for Rice Pudding is in my blood. DH could say the same, since he's Greek, and we live in an area that has a huge Greek population. Therefore -rice pudding abounds! Your recipe is the epitome of a great rice pudding. It's the creamiest I've had - and I think it's due to the technique. I've never used so small a proportion of rice to milk, but it works perfectly. The rice is super soft. What I love the best is the addition of milk at the end, to get it to the texture that you like - whether runny or firm. I served this sprinkled with some really good cinnamon. Deliciousness!!!
