Old Fashioned Rice Pudding
Rice pudding is a delicious treat that is seen in variations all around the world. Some rice puddings are used as a side dish and while others are served as a dessert. The dessert varieties have sugar or other sweeteners added typically. Generally rice pudding is made with water or milk and rice. It is sometimes boiled but can also be baked depending upon the dish being made. Other common ingredients in rice pudding include but are not limited to: cinnamon, sugar, flavorings, and fruit, This recipe is one I have enjoyed since childhood. I like sweetened rice puddings with raisins in it. I remember eating rice pudding around Christmastime as a wonderful dessert that is pleasing to the tastebuds and has an aroma that is heavenly.
