Ingredients

• 1 cup short-grain rice
• 4 cups whole milk
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, whole milk, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.

Step 4

Once it begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and let the rice cook for about 30-35 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid scorching. The mixture should thicken, and the rice should become tender.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and raisins (if using). Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring often.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the unsalted butter until fully melted and incorporated.

Step 7

Let the rice pudding cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm or chilled as desired, and garnish with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon, if preferred.
