Mail from Grandma ~ Rice Pudding

Rice Pudding

So I kind of asked Grandma to send me this recipe, normally she surprises me but I was really really craving her rice pudding. There is something about the cool air and the smell of butter and cinnamon. mmmm so good and perfect for Fall. 

The best part is Grandma didn't have a written recipe for this, it's all in her head! So she shared all the steps with me. I'm glad I picked her brain. You will be too. Let's get started!

First boil 2 cups of rice. You will need 4 cups cooked rice.

Once cooked add 4 eggs and 1 cup of sugar. Mix well.

 Next stir in a cup of milk. You may not use a whole cup. Don't make it too runny.

 Mix in a handful of raisins...or two or three :)

Melt a half stick of butter into your baking dish. I used an 8x8 dish.

Pour the goodness into the dish and top with cinnamon.

Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Until the butter comes up on the sides and it is golden brown. 

Let it cool somewhat and dig in. You can share if you want, or eat the whole pan yourself, like I basically did. No I am not ashamed, if that's what you are thinking. You won't be either after tasting this! 

So So So YUMMMMY!

Ingredients:
4 cups cooked rice
1/2 stick butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk
Raisins
Cinnamon

I hope you all try this out and enjoy it as much as I did.

Thanks for the recipe Grandma. I think I will make it again next week and yes eat the whole pan again. No shame here, no shame at all :)

Happy Sweet Tooth Saturday!
