RICE PUDDING WITH MOLASSES

SERVES 2 to 3

My father loved rice pudding. This is based on the recipe my mother used to make and it is very good.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup long grain rice, uncooked

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 cups milk, more if needed

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 to 2 tablespoons molasses, depending on desired sweetness (or substitute dark corn syrup)

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Put rice in medium saucepan with salt and milk. Bring to boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until the rice is very soft and all the milk is absorbed, 30 to 40 minutes. (Add milk if it dries out before the rice is soft.) Remove from heat; add butter, molasses, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Stir to blend. Serve warm or room temperature.
