There is something about a warm rice pudding that reminds me of my childhood. I don’t even know if I was a huge eater of it, but I do remember my mother always stirring up a big pot for my brother.
My version is super simple (like anything I make) and doesn’t require endless hours standing at the stove stirring milk so it doesn’t burn. 10 minutes max and you’re done.
