My Great-Aunt Helen passed away just over 9 years ago last month. She was well known for her wonderful cooking and housekeeping as she kept my grandmother's home while she worked (and thank goodness too because my grandmother couldn't make grilled cheese

Rice pudding is a traditional Portuguese recipe (or it has a Portuguese traditional recipe for it) and usually we don't put condensed milk in it. You might ommit the sugar and some of the milk from this translated recipe to try and recreate your grandmother's recipe, sorry I couldn't be of much help:

ngredients:
200g rice
400 ml water
1 liter milk
200 gr caster sugar (mixed in with six tablespoons of vanilla sugar)
3 egg yolks
Peel of half a lemon
1 cinnamon stick
Pinch of salt

Preparação:
1. Boil rice in water in medium low fire, keep stirring until the water is absorbed in the rice. Heat the milk to boiling point and reserve.

2. Add the cinnamon stick, lemon peel and add milk until it's absorbed in the rice slowly. When you have added half of the milk add the sugar and keep stirring while adding the remainder of the milk.

3. Temper the yolks in a couple of tablespoons of work milk, take the rice out of the fire and add the tempered yolks mixing swiftly to avoid curdling. Bring the mixture back to the fire while stiring let it come to a boiling point and turn the fire off.

4. Put it in a large oval serving platter or individual cups or ramekins, let it come to room temperature and sprinkle with cinnamon.

The world "tempering" has me terrified. I am a dump it all in a bowl and mix kind of girl.
