Great recipe

Being Spanish my mum used to cook it all the time. This is the closest to the real deal. One thing I remember was licking the spoon with the condensed milk. Be careful it can be addictive.

This is the absolutely best creamed rice ever. We love it cold the next day. Now I make it with Lite Milk and 98% fat free condensed milk. This is so versitile for summer and winter comfort food.

Make it better!

This is a great dish, but veeeery sweet. Halve the amount of condensed milk, and throw in 4 or 5 cardamon pods for a more delicate flavour. Wonderful!
