Ingredients
- 1 cup Short-grain rice (e.g., Arborio or Jasmine)
- 4 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
Step 2
In a medium-sized pot, combine the rinsed rice, water, and a pinch of salt. Place over medium heat and bring to a gentle boil.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until most of the water is absorbed (about 10 minutes).
Step 4
Add the milk to the pot and increase the heat to medium-low. Stir gently to combine.
Step 5
Cook the mixture uncovered, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, for about 40–45 minutes or until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened.
Step 6
Once the desired consistency is reached, stir in the sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and butter until fully incorporated.
Step 7
If using raisins, stir them in now and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Step 8
Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if needed.
Step 9
Remove the pot from the heat and allow the rice pudding to cool slightly. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Step 10
Serve warm or chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream if desired. Enjoy!
