Preparation
Heat the milk in a pot over medium heat.
Mix rice flour with a small amount of milk to form a smooth slurry.

Use high-quality rice flour for the best results.
Add nuts to increase nutritional value, making it ideal for children.
Substitute saffron with cocoa powder for a chocolate-flavored version.
Cook until the pudding reaches the desired thickness, as it will firm up when cooled.
