Rinse the rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the rinsed rice to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the rice simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, or until most of the water has been absorbed.
Stir in the 4 cups of whole milk and the salt. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently, stirring frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Cook the rice pudding for about 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened to a porridge-like consistency.
Once cooked, stir in the tablespoon of sugar. Taste and adjust for sweetness if needed.
Ladle the rice pudding into individual bowls. Top each serving with a small dollop of butter, a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of granulated sugar.
Serve warm and enjoy a cozy bowl of Norwegian Risengrynsgrøt!
