Note:* The secret to rice pudding is adding the sugar at the correct time. Do not add the sugar until the rice is thoroughly cooked, as the rice will not continue to soften. If you have tried this recipe before and did not like it, give it another whirl making sure that the rice is cooked before adding the sugar and other ingredients.
