Authentic home cooking from Greece, with US measurements. 
Grandma's Rice Pudding
A simple, traditional dessert made with love, carrying memories from our carefree childhood days. I still remember those winter afternoons coming home from school, with my grandma in the kitchen, just serving up the most delicious rice pudding and sprinkling it with fragrant cinnamon. The scent of vanilla and cinnamon would fill the whole house. These are familiar sights and smells, deeply rooted in my heart. Later, after my grandma passed away, my mom would make grandma’s rice pudding, and I have to say, she did it very well. This is a simple, authentic recipe, creamy and full of milk flavor. Grandma’s recipe was always made by eye, without measuring in grams or milliliters. My mom gave me this recipe so I could pass it on to my own family. I converted it to grams and milliliters for convenience. The rice pudding I made today, I made together with my mom, and it was a big hit.
