Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Instant rice
- 1 cup Powdered milk
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla powder (optional)
- 0.5 cup Raisins or dried fruit (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant rice, powdered milk, sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. If using vanilla powder, add it as well.
Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure they are evenly distributed.
Add raisins or dried fruit if desired, and stir to combine.
Transfer the mixture into a clean, airtight glass jar or container. Label the jar with the name and instructions for cooking.
To prepare the rice pudding: Combine 1/2 cup of the rice pudding mix with 1 cup of milk (or water, if preferred) in a small saucepan.
Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and the rice is tender. This should take about 7-10 minutes.
Pour into a serving dish and allow it to cool slightly before enjoying. For a richer pudding, garnish with a drizzle of cream, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
