Grandma’s Rice Pudding
My sisters and I always loved the recipe for rice pudding our grandma made. After she passed away, I took it upon myself to try and find the secret to her rice pudding. It took quite a bit of experimentation, but I finally got it right! And I'm glad to share this easy recipe here. —Margaret DeChant, Newberry, Michigan

This recipe should be rated minus zero. It was a big disappointment.
This was excellent and tasted just like my Mother's rice pudding. Very delicious and easy recipe. Thanks.
Not my grandma's rice pudding.
Good one
It was edible, but I wouldn't say its anywhere close to a good rice pudding.
Absolutely delicious! Brings back fond memories of my mom’s rice pudding. Thank you so much for sharing!
You might add one of the most important parts of this recipe. Just adding rice and pouring in the milk,egg,and spice leaves you with crunchy uncooked rice an hour later. Going to try this again with COOKED rice this time.
This recipe is very similar to the rice pudding with which my husband grew up. Our recipe uses 1 tsp. of vanilla rather than the nutmeg. We eat it as a main dish.
Next time I'll make more of the custard because that's how I like it. I used a mixture of cinnamon and fresh ground nutmeg. A note regarding comments about nutmeg being toxic... nutmeg is only toxic if you consume over 1 teaspoon of ground nutmeg all at once. Recipes that use nutmeg don't typically use an amount that would actually be toxic. This recipe is safe and definitely a good jumping off point to adjust to your tastes.
