Ingredients

• 1 cup Short-grain white rice
• 2 cups Water
• 4 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, bring the 2 cups of water to a boil.

Step 3

Add the rinsed rice to the boiling water, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes or until the water is mostly absorbed.

Step 4

Stir in the 4 cups of whole milk, granulated sugar, and salt. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture starts to thicken and the rice is tender, approximately 30-35 minutes.

Step 5

Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the unsalted butter and vanilla extract.

Step 6

Ladle the rice pudding into serving bowls or a large dish and sprinkle ground cinnamon on top as a garnish.

Step 7

Serve warm or chilled. For chilled rice pudding, allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
