Canadian Maple Rice Pudding
I took a few ideas a created my own rice pudding recipe. My family loves it (me particularly), and it is quick and easy to make.
uncooked short-grain white rice
¾
cup
water
1 ½
cups
2% milk 
2
cups
maple flavored extract
1
teaspoon
white sugar
½
cup
ground nutmeg
½
teaspoon
ground cinnamon
½
teaspoon
ground cloves
1
pinch
butter
1
tablespoon
 Combine the rice and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and let simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, or until all of the water has been absorbed.
  Stir in 1 3/4 cups of the milk, sugar and maple flavoring, bring to a boil, and let simmer over medium heat until thick and creamy, about 15 minutes. Stir in the remaining milk, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and butter. Cook stirring over low heat for another 5 minutes. Pour into a casserole dish, or serving bowls, and let stand for 5 minutes before serving. This can be served cold also.
