Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup white rice (uncooked)
- 2 cups water
- 4 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
- 0.33 cup raisins (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Add the rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and the water is absorbed.
Stir in the whole milk, granulated sugar, butter, and salt into the cooked rice. Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to low and cook for another 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. If using raisins, fold them into the pudding at this stage.
Let the rice pudding cool slightly. It will thicken further as it cools.
Spoon the rice pudding into serving bowls, sprinkle with ground cinnamon (if desired), and serve warm or chilled.
