Stovetop Rice Pudding
This is my mom’s recipe, which she called creamy steamed rice. Although many people would eat it for dessert, it was one of my favorite breakfasts when I was growing up. My family considers it a real treat.
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups water
- 3/4 cup uncooked long grain rice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Cinnamon sticks and fresh fruit, optional

This recipe is easy to make and tastes very good. As others noted, I added 1 teaspoon of vanilla along with the butter and sprinkled some cinnamon over the top when served. Delicious and creamy.
I have made this for years and love it every time. I have also tried a number of other recipes and nothing compares - this is by far the BEST!
This is a decent recipe that only uses the stove. Sugar is just about right. Mine got really thick, maybe because I added about 1/2 c rice flour... If you do add rice flour or another thickener, then make sure you mix up a little bit first into a paste that is not too far off from the liquid milk. After stirring constantly, it got really thick in 25 minutes. Added some vanilla.
This recipe is great when you are craving the comfort of rice pudding - easy to make and turns out great! In the last 10 minutes of cooking, I add approximately 3/4 Cup of raisins which gives them time to plump up and provides a little added natural sweetness. A keeper recipe!
How the heck do I get this page to stop cycling? I am trying to get some information on how to improve my simlple baked-in-the-oven rice pudding? 1 *
This is like the rice pudding my mother made when I was growing up. I duplicated it the other night but used already cooked Chinese rice we don't normally eat. So thrilled to be able to have it again. Now I just need raisins!! Try it with Pumpkin Pie spice sprinkled on it. DELICIOUS!!
just made this and absolutely loved it ...have tried many other recipes, but this one is easy and the most creamy with just the right amount of sweetness. Did not alter recipe and will definitely make it again.
This was easy to make and the taste is great. I added a bit more sugar than the recipe called for but I wish I had made it as per the recipe because I think it would have been plenty sweet with just 1/2 c. sugar. I added a little vanilla after it thickened and sprinkled a little bit of cinnamon on top. I will definitely make this again.
Best rice pudding recipe I've found so far. A recommendation, let the rice cook a bit longer than the 15 minutes in the recipe, it was a little bit chewy. Otherwise a simple and tasty recipe.
I also added vanilla........the rice pudding was great!
