Ingredients
- 1 cup 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
- 0.5 cup raisins (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 15 minutes until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Step 3
Stir in the milk, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent the rice from sticking.
Step 4
Lower the heat to a simmer and cook uncovered for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, raisins (if using), and butter until well combined.
Step 6
Let the pudding cool for 5-10 minutes. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Step 7
Serve warm or chilled, garnished with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon if desired. Enjoy Grandma's classic rice pudding!
