Ingredients

• 1 cup short-grain white rice
• 2 cups water
• 4 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 10 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the milk, sugar, butter, and salt. Increase the heat to medium and cook uncovered, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, for about 25-30 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and raisins if using.

Step 6

Let the rice pudding cool for 5 minutes, then transfer it to serving bowls or a large dish for family-style serving.

Step 7

Serve warm, or chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours if you prefer it cold.

Step 8

Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
