Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups water
- 3 cups whole milk
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup raisins
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice and salt, stir, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
While the rice is cooking, soak the raisins in warm water for 10 minutes to plump them up. Drain and set aside.
Once the rice is cooked, add the whole milk, granulated sugar, and butter to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Increase the heat to medium and cook the mixture, stirring frequently, for about 20 minutes or until the pudding becomes thick and creamy.
Stir in the plumped raisins, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Serve warm or chilled, topped with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon if desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
