Rice Pudding Recipe

Rice Pudding Recipe

Rice pudding is a dish made from boiled rice mixed with milk , sugar, cornstarch and blossom water.

Rice pudding is a traditional dessert, easy to make and the ingredients are simple, It's cooling and refreshing and satisfying at the same time.

I tried making Rice Pudding several times, and I FAILED. I know I always can buy the ready ones, but why don't I make my own from scratch while I have the ingredients. 

Here I am sharing with you  the Rice Pudding recipe from simple ingredients, and the mistakes I did and I shouldn't, and what I did now to make this recipe succeed .

Some people don't add the corn starch, which is totally fine since the rice has starch in it, but in this case you have to add more rice. Here in my recipe I'll be using the corn starch because I like it less rice and creamy.

The consistency  and the sweetness is just perfect, but remember you always can add more or less the quantity of sugar if you want it less sweet and cornstarch if you want it softer.

Here what I did and I call it mistake and I wish somebody advised me and told me what to do.

I started with boiling the rice and I added the milk without making sure the rice is well done. OOPS! I thought the rice will cook properly when I'll add the milk, and now I discovered it won't cook after you add the milk. YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE RICE IS WELL DONE BEFORE ADDING THE MILK TO IT! done ?

let me share my recipe now:
