🥘 Ingredients

8 items

• 0.5 cups White rice (uncooked, preferably medium-grain)
• 4 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cups Raisins (optional)
• 1 tablespoons Unsalted butter (optional, for richness)

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch until the water runs clear.

2. In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, whole milk, and salt.

3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

4. Once the mixture begins to simmer, lower the heat to medium-low. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, for about 45-50 minutes or until the rice is tender and the pudding has thickened. The mixture should have a creamy consistency.

5. Stir in the granulated sugar and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring constantly, to dissolve the sugar and ensure it is well incorporated.

6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. If desired, fold in the ground cinnamon, raisins, and unsalted butter for added flavor and richness.

7. Let the rice pudding cool slightly before serving. It will continue to thicken as it cools. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can stir in a splash of milk before serving.

8. Serve warm or chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon or additional raisins, if desired.
