Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups water
- 3 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.33 cup raisins (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Stir in the rinsed rice, reduce the heat to low, and cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice has absorbed the water.
Add the milk, sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon to the cooked rice. Stir to combine.
Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, for about 20 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy.
Stir in the vanilla extract, butter, and raisins (if using) and mix well until the butter is melted and fully incorporated.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pudding cool for 5-10 minutes. The pudding will continue to thicken as it cools.
Serve warm or chilled, garnished with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
