Grandma Milleville's Rice

Grandma Evelyn Milleville is Martha Winnes' grandmother. Here is the original recipe she gave to Martha. 

After a long road trip to visit his grandparents, Opa looked forward to a pot of rice ready for the family to have. It was sweet and filling (and cheap to make for a crowd)! When I grew up and travelled to Wisconsin to visit he would have a pot of rice pudding ready for me to eat. 

1 C Long grain Rice

2 1/2 qts Milk

1 stick cinnamon

1 t Salt 

3/4 C Sugar (more to taste)

Put rice, milk, cinnamon and salt in 4 qt kettle. Stir constantly to avoid scorching. As rice thickens gradually add more milk. When rice is almost done (about 1/2 hr) add sugar to taste, about 1 cup. Add remainder of milk continually stirring until rice is creamy (about 1/2 hr). Pour into a bowl to thicken and cool (not a plastic bowl as the rice will become thin.) Cover and refrigerate

Variations: 

1 2/3 c rice, 14 c milk

1 c rice, try 9 1/2 c milk

not more salt, but may add more sugar.
