Rice Pudding

On Friday, I found four more pyrex dishes to add to my collection at an estate sale. That means it is pudding time. In the next few months, I will share my secret recipe for chocolate pudding an butterscotch. Today is feeling more like a rice pudding day.

I have to say that I like rice. Rice porridge, fried rice, sticky rice, rice cereal (baby not puffed), Tex-Mex rice, rice and beans, and rice pudding, I will eat it all. You can only imagine the weird looks I got in college when friends would walk into my room and see me eating plain rice with chopsticks on my bed. Therefore, I have a couple variations of rice pudding that I enjoy making, but I will start you off with my simplest recipe.

Be warned, this version is not very sweet. If you like a sweet rice pudding feel free to add more sugar or honey or your preferred sweetener. As is, I enjoy this pudding for breakfast or for dessert.
