Rice pudding is thought to have originated in China or India centuries ago. It is now found in nearly every part of the world. Recipes vary greatly even within a single country, depending on the method of cooking (boiled or baked) and the ingredients. This recipe makes a simple, yet classic American-style rice pudding.
Any type of white rice can be used, although I prefer a round, short grain rice called Arborio. This type of rice produces a creamier consistency than other rice when cooked.
