Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 2 cups milk
- 0.25 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups raisins (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the cooked white rice, milk, sugar, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir to combine the ingredients well.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency. Stir frequently to avoid burning.
Once the pudding has thickened, remove the saucepan from heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and butter until fully incorporated.
If using raisins, fold them into the rice pudding at this stage.
Taste and adjust sweetness or seasoning as needed.
Serve warm in bowls. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch.
