Author Notes

I learned this rice pudding recipe while taking a cooking class with Patrice Demers, a pastry chef here in Montreal. It is a very creamy and traditionnal rice pudding . You could add different spices such as cinnamon or cardamom, but I prefer the pure taste of the vanilla alone. —camille

hi Camille, would you say that the rice becomes softer because you first boiled it in water before milk? or perhaps that it removes some of the starch?
