Nana’s Rice Pudding

January 12, 2012 By Betsy Cohen

Nana’s Rice Pudding a/k/a Comfort Food

Nana's Rice PuddingI have mentioned my Nana, Freida Miller, before. Nana is the person behind the delicious Nana’s Butter Cookies that I blogged about not too long ago.

I used to go to Nana and Poppop’s house weekly for lunch and then stayed through the day while my siblings went elsewhere. Whether it was watching tv, putting together puzzles with Poppop or sneaking cookies out of the freezer, Nana and Poppop always seemed happy to see me and have me hang out at their house. The aromas that came out of the kitchen were always enticing.

Despite rarely hanging in the kitchen as foods were being prepared, I am fortunate enough to have Nana’s recipes, several of which I treasure to this day. One of them is her Rice Pudding. When I think of comfort food, this ranks right up there.

Nana’s Rice Pudding is a bit different than the rice puddings I have had elsewhere. Nana’s has this really cool layering to it. The bottom layer is packed to the max with rice and raisins whereas the top layer is strictly a creamy pudding, albeit a very light one.

As you can tell, many of my childhood comfort memories include Nana and Poppop. Thanks to a pretty little recipe box that my Dad passed down to me, you too may start your own comfort food memories with Nana’s Rice Pudding.

About Betsy

Happylicious By Betsy December 2015 lo res I have loved desserts for as long as I can remember. Growing up I loved the smell of freshly baked challah in my maternal great-grandmother’s kitchen, the incredible butter cookies from my paternal grandmother and the perfect pies my mother used to bake when company came over. More about me.
