A Dessert to Make You Cry
That's right. My recipe for a traditional rice pudding with a Greek twist may actually cause you to cry. It's another GrecoSoCo recipe--my take on a traditional Southern rice pudding. If you're in a hurry, here's the printable recipe, otherwise, scroll down for a teeny touching story.
Rice Pudding? Yes, I've taken the traditional recipe and added lemon zest and just a hint of cinnamon for a creamy, dreamy after-dinner treat. It's an easy make-ahead dessert that will make anyone over fifty cry. If not, it will give them warm and fuzzy feelings for a week, and they may ask for seconds. This pudding will trigger memories of family dinners of long ago, when mamas and grandmamas cooked dinner from scratch almost every night. Often, when there was rice left over from dinner, you'd turn that rice into rice pudding. That was back when all home cooks could eyeball ingredients and quantities, and everything always turned out just right.
