What each ingredient does

Ground rice
Its starch swells and thickens the milk as it heats, giving the pudding its body.
Milk
Forms the liquid that the rice starch absorbs, and adds creaminess and milk sugars that brown when baked.

The step that matters

Stir continuously over heat. Rice starch and milk solids settle on the base of the pan and scorch easily. Constant stirring keeps them dispersed, prevents sticking and burning, and lets the starch thicken the mixture evenly.
