Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 4 cups whole milk
- 0.333 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup raisins (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the rice under cold water to remove excess starch, then drain well.
Grease the inside of the slow cooker with 1 tablespoon of butter to prevent sticking.
Add the rinsed rice, milk, sugar, remaining butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
If using raisins, add them to the slow cooker and stir again.
Cover and cook on low heat for 4 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure the rice cooks evenly and doesn't stick to the bottom.
After 4 hours, check the consistency. The rice should be tender and the pudding creamy. If it's too thick, stir in a little more milk until it reaches your desired texture.
Turn off the slow cooker and let the rice pudding cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm or chilled, garnished with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon if desired. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
