Ingredients
- Makes about 5-6 servings
- 3 cups milk
- 2 cups water
- 3/4 cup uncooked short grain white rice
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup raisins, optional
- cinnamon, to garnish - optional
Directions
- In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the milk and water to just below a simmer and stir in rice.
- Simmer uncovered until the rice is tender, about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Add the sugar and vanilla extract (and raisins - if used) and cook 10-15 minutes more until the rice pudding thickens.
- Remove from heat and set aside for 15 minutes. Spoon the pudding into serving bowls and sprinkle with cinnamon. Rice pudding will set further as it cools. It can be served warm or cold.

I think this may be my Mom's recipe.. I have been looking for her recipe.. She made what she called a Snowball Rice pudding recipe. As the name suggested it was prefect white which she was very proud of!! I have done the one you bake in the oven and as the rice and milk cook, the sugars caramelize and your pudding is not that beautiful white colour!!i Thank you!

Looks great. I grew up eating packaged rice pudding which was fine and sweet but nothing special. I didn't know how delicious it could be until I tasted one that was homemade.

Did you mean to say 1/4 tsp of vanilla extract? I used 4 tsp and it was way too much vanilla!
Re:
No, I really meant 4 tsp of vanilla extract as I wanted to have a strong taste of vanilla, but of course you can reduce to 1 or 2 tsp according to your preferences. Maybe my extract is not as strong as yours, don't know, but when I did that 2 tsp seemed not enough for me.
