When making Rice Pudding, Is the starting product supposed to look like it Could Fit In A Shot Glass?

Well I am making rice pudding for the first time, I got the ingredients and instructions off the internet. Is the starting product supposed to be so little? 1/3 cup of rice is 75 or so ml isnt it.When making Rice Pudding, Is the starting product supposed to look like it Could Fit In A Shot Glass?
1/3 cup of rice would yield about one serving. Perhaps the recipe is written per serving so you can scale it easily to however many servings you want.





OR, is it possible the 1/3 cup is for tapioca rather than rice? Tapioca rice pudding could possibly call for 1/3 cup of tapioca plus one full cup of rice.

Tapioca generally calls for 3 - 4 Tablespoons not cups.





Yes, 1/3 cup is 75 ml.





Here's my rice pudding recipe.





RICE CUSTARD PUDDING





2 c milk


2 eggs


1/3 c sugar


3/4 cup cooked rice


1/4 c raisins (optional)


1/4 tsp salt (optl)


nutmeg to sprinkle on top





Slightly stir eggs, scald milk and add sugar to milk. Add milk mix to eggs. Grease casserole dish. Add rice, raisins, and salt to milk. Mix and pour into the casserole dish. Sprinkle nutmeg on top. Set dish in another dish with 1'; of warm water. Bake in a preheated 300潞 oven for apx 40 minutes. When half cooked (20 minute mark), stir the bottom without disturbing the top very much to mix up the rice. Cook until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.





(If the rice triples in size from raw to cooked, your 1/3 cup will become the 3/4ths cup that is called for in my recipe).
As the rice cooks it absorbs most of the liquid. The rest becomes a custard.


I hope this helps!
One third cup of rice will three times more when cooked. You have to cook the rice by itself first .
No,I think you did something wrong.
