Delicious thick, rich and creamy rice pudding without the fuss of a water bath. Enjoy! For a nice variation I sometimes like to add half a teaspoon of rose water, a couple dashes of ground cardamom, and a slice of fresh lemon that's cooked along with the rice--wonderful! Note: Evaporated milk (diluted with an equal amount of water) makes a lovely substitute for the regular milk or half-and-half cream.
