  • You don’t need to soak the rice when making rice pudding; just rinse them. If you wash it too much, the starch of the rice itself will go away, and it will cause the consistency not to thicken while making the rice pudding.
  • Do not overcook the rice. It should be cooked just tender; overcooked rice will make the pudding mushy.
  • Stir constantly while cooking. This will prevent the pudding from scorching.
  • If the pudding is too thick, you can thin it out with additional milk. Keep in mind the consistency of the rice pudding should be a little runny because it will gelatinize and solidify as it cools.
  • You can serve the rice pudding warm or cold. You can store the rice puddings for 4 days in the refrigerator. 
  • You can use buffalo milk for a higher flavor rice pudding.
  • It is important to add sugar to the rice pudding at the last stage; if added in the first stage, it can prevent the rice from releasing its starch. You can put vanilla extract or vanilla sugar in your rice pudding along with sugar at the last stage.
