The rice pudding at Lamb's Restaurant is usually served warm and topped with whipped cream. It is one of several reasons diners have been frequenting the restaurant in downtown Salt Lake City for more than 80 years.
The Tribune published the recipe many years ago, but we are reprinting it for Marie Ulrich and others looking for a classic, comforting winter dessert.
