This was pretty good - nice and creamy - until I got to the part where you add the vanilla. EGADS!!! 1 and 1/2 TABLESPOONS has got to be a misprint. I only added 1 tablespoon and even that is way too much. I am continuing to cook this, hoping some of it will dissipate; if not I will have to throw the whole thing out. I think 1 tsp would be about right.

This is delightful! Smooth, sweet, creamy...who could ask for more? My husband loves rice pudding and I have made it with varying degrees of success throughout our 40 year marriage. This is by far the best I have made. Try it. You'll be glad you did!!
