SWEDISH RICE PORRIDGE
This recipe comes courtesy of one the American Girls cookbooks. Specifically it comes from the Kirsten one and so is Swedish themed. Several of these recipes from all of the books are all time favorites of mine so I will post them here. Rice porridge, known as "Skansk grot" in Sweden, made pioneer settlers feel at home in America. This is a wonderful comfort food for a sickie or just for a rainy day.

- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the porridge from scorching.

- Add milk or cream to taste: Once the porridge is cooked, you can add milk or cream to taste. This will make the porridge richer and creamier.
