Creamed Rice / Rice Puddings

One of the earliest recipes I remember making at home as a kid was creamed rice.  Since that time I have always made it the same way – long grain rice, milk and a bit of sugar.  Recently I decided to expand my horizons and, inspired by a recipe in the Coles Baby Club magazine, use aborio rice.   I’ve also been trying to cut down on our dairy intake, so used rice milk as well.   The aborio rice made a nice change, and I just love it on a cold winter’s night.

1. In a medium sized saucepan combine the maple syrup, cinnamon (if using), vanilla and milk and bring to the boil over high heat.

4. To serve cold, and for something different, the rice can be poured into 6 small plastic moulds and put in the fridge for about 3 hours. When ready to serve, tip the puddings out of the moulds onto a plate or bowl

Note

Low Chemical / Failsafe

If a small amount of salicylates can be tolerated, or for a salicylate challenge, include the cinnamon.  Alternatively, if cooking for different dietary requirements, cinnamon can be sprinkled on top before serving.
