02 -
  • If you forget to stir midway, the rice clumps and the edges dry out fast&
  • Letting the pudding cool for ten minutes makes every bite perfectly creamy, not runny&
03 -
  • Half-and-half instead of milk turns this into something restaurant-worthy&
  • Adding vanilla bean seeds instead of extract is worth it for special occasions&
