Easy baby rice cereal

I got this recipe – if you really want to call it that – from , a book “Auntie E” gave us this past summer.  Needless to say, it was a hit with our little love bug.

Baby Rice

(from Wholesome Meals for Babies and Toddlers by Sandra Baddeley)

scant 1/4 cup of white short-grain rice

breast milk (or formula)

Rinse the rice under cold running water and drain.  Put in a pan and add enough cold water just to cover it.  Bring to a boil and stir.  Reduce the heat, then cover and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the grains are very tender.  Puree the rice in a blender with a little breast milk (or formula) until smooth.  Makes 15 portions.  (Unless your baby eats like ours…)
