Notebook and family notes

Preserved from the handwritten notebook as the creator's mother's recipe, not the rice pudding the creator remembers growing up with. The ingredient amounts have been confirmed by the creator against the handwritten notebook.

The handwritten method mentions lemon in step two; the ingredient list specifies lemon juice.
