#### _**Creamy Rice Pudding** is a yummy 󠀁[family favourite](https://stayathomemum.com.au/recipes/slow-cooker-apple-and-cinnamon-cake/)󠁿, to warm the cockles of your heart._

Creamy Rice Pudding is both a cheap and frugal pudding to make – perfect for using
up leftover rice from the night before.? Just place any leftover rice in the fridge
to dry out slightly – for some reason, this always yields a better result than when
you use raw rice.

Jasmine or Basmati or even Arborio Rice is perfect for Creamy Rice Pudding – any
white rice that you have will be great.

The recipe for Creamy Rice Pudding actually started from the British Tradition, 
Bread and Butter Pudding.? When people ran out of bread, they substituted it for
rice.? It was so delicious that it became its own famous pudding and is another 
delicious dessert that is still enjoyed today.

Just a note: never eat rice that has been in the fridge for more than three days–
you will get [food poisoning](https://stayathomemum.com.au/my-lifestyle/mouldy-food-how-far-is-too-far-gone/)!
