This comes from Taste of Home. I used to make "leftover rice" pudding often over 10 years ago but got sick of it and haven't made it since. You use leftover salted white rice, or make some fresh, which is what I've always done, including this time, add milk, salt, and sugar to it and simmer it until it thickens. That's it. Very simple and basic, and good. I added cinnamon, less than 1/8 t., raisins, and 1 c. diced apple. This recipe called for a little too much milk, in my opinion, so I used 1/4 c. less and that was perfect. This calls for way too much vanilla. I didn't use any.
Because of calling for too much vanilla and not enough salt, I grade this an A-. The directions didn't tell you how much uncooked rice you'd need to equal 2 cups cooked (you'll need 2/3 c. rice and 1 1/3 c. salted water, by the way since rice triples in volume) so if you don't know how much rice increases in volume you'll have to look it up online and you shouldn't have had to. The recipe should have told you.
