This is the rice pudding my dad used to make for us when we were kids back in the '60's. I'm very happy that I found it because I haven't had this type of rice pudding SINCE! Most people make it creamy/runny and/or no cinnamon.

Thanks so much Seabreeze! There is a long story for me with this Betty recipe.....I won't bore you! However, this is the rice pudding recipe you want if you want the more solid/dense type of pudding rather than the wet/creamy stove top type. Even my hubby who says he doesn't eat rice in pudding LOVED it......but he added I should have had whipped cream on it [didn't make it yet!]. I would add that any long cooking rice will work, and it's really not necessary to soak the raisins. Plus, if you goof like I did 40 years ago and forget to stir the pudding after it's baked 30 minutes as directed, the end result will be a layered custard on the top/rice on the bottom style.....but it was super good that way as well! Thanks again!
