This is a great recipe! Along the way I have altered and tweaked and this is what I do now to the point where I don't even pull the recipe sheet out any longer: I put ONLY the milk and sugar in the pot and let it heat up significantly (to the point of being hot) before adding the rice. This speeds up the cooking process and I have found the rice "holds up" better--eliminating mushy or grainy rice in the end. The drawback is, you DO have to babysit it. Once the milk/sugar/rice mixture gets to a thickness where it is slowly sliding off the spoon and loses the runniness, it is done. Some say it will not thicken beyond this point, but I have found once your egg mixture is added, and the cooling process is done, mine really does thicken more. Allowing the milk and eggs to sit ahead of time until room temperature is essential. I use a light or heavy cream in the egg mixture to add some richness. Also, I find an aromatic long grain rice, like Basmati or Jasmati, adds a nice touch! Thank you for this wonderful recipe!
