Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Short-grain white rice
- 2 cups Water
- 4 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a medium saucepan, bring the 2 cups of water to a boil.
Add the rinsed rice to the boiling water, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes or until the water is mostly absorbed.
Stir in the 4 cups of whole milk, granulated sugar, and salt. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture starts to thicken and the rice is tender, approximately 30-35 minutes.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the unsalted butter and vanilla extract.
Ladle the rice pudding into serving bowls or a large dish and sprinkle ground cinnamon on top as a garnish.
Serve warm or chilled. For chilled rice pudding, allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
