Add in the rice – I like mixing up how we weigh and measure out the ingredients, this is adapted from a simple rice pudding recipe that my sister-in-law gave me that she uses in her crockpot but I wanted to make it a little more autumnal with the kids. They like measuring in cups as it’s great for working on fine motor skills and my youngest who isn’t yet reading numbers finds it easier to do.
