This recipe brings back so many great childhood memories! 

My mom used to make it when I was growing up and it was always my absolute favorite!

My siblings and I would wait so patiently for the rice to cook, for the pudding to bake, and then finally for it to cool off enough for us to eat it.

It never lasted very long before it was gone back then, and it doesn't last long now when I make it for my daughter and I.



This recipe is ready in these steps:

• Preheat the oven
• Pour the rice into a baking dish
• In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and vanilla 
• Add the salt and sugar and whisk
• Pour the custard over top of the rice and sprinkle with nutmeg
• Bake until custard is set. 
• Remove from oven and cool
• Sprinkle with cinnamon when serving
• Refrigerate leftovers

• Sticky Rhubarb Pudding

The custard is sweet and creamy and the sprinkle of cinnamon on top adds a perfect touch of flavor.

You could jazz it up and add some chocolate chips, pumpkin, raisins, almond extract instead of vanilla, or even some blueberries to the custard and rice before you bake it.

When I make this recipe, I always use leftover rice from the refrigerator. It saves time not having to cook it before it bakes, since the baking time is quite long.

This recipe is tried and true and it's been in the family for 30+ years. I'm not sure where the original recipe came from since it was always in my mom's recipe box on a recipe card, handwritten.

I eventually copied it, made some minor changes and now share it with all of you here!

What readers say about this recipe:

• Trisha- I used evaporated milk (not enough regular milk in the fridge) & added raisins. It smells fantastic!

• Dyan- Delicious. I cut the recipe in half but kept the cinnamon and nutmeg as recipe states. Will make the full recipe next time

• Kathy- I added raisins, it was great.

• Thea- Tastes exactly like MAMA’s

• Julia- I usually don’t care for rice pudding, but this recipe converted me! Soooo good!

I hope you enjoy this pudding as much as my family has over the years!
