Special Precautions and Tips:
- Use good quality rice for the best results. Arborio rice is a traditional choice for rice pudding because it holds its shape and texture well during cooking.
- Be sure to stir the pudding frequently while cooking to prevent it from sticking or burning.
- If the pudding becomes too thick, add a little more milk to thin it out.
- You can add other spices to your taste, such as cardamom or ginger.
- Serve the rice pudding warm or cold, topped with your favorite toppings such as whipped cream, berries, or nuts.
