This is a lovely creamy rice pudding that is very simple to make. It is the best rice pudding I've ever tasted.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This warm and creamy rice pudding is thick and has just the right touch of sweetness. Like most old-fashioned recipes, this has very few ingredients and takes just a little time to prepare. It's cooked with love just like Grandma used to make. It sounds like a lot of milk but trust the process. Let the milk simmer and stir every so often until thick. Sprinkle with cinnamon for a comforting dessert.

Test Kitchen Tips
This recipe calls for converted rice which is also known as par boiled rice. Make sure to read the rice's packaging.
  • Milk, rice, sugar, butter, and salt in a saucepan.
    Step 1
    Combine milk, rice, sugar, butter, and salt in a 3-quart heavy saucepan.
  • Heating until mixture starts to simmer.
