Ingredients
- 150 grams short-grain rice
- 1 liter milk
- 50 grams sugar
- 1 whole vanilla bean
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the short-grain rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and keep the rice pudding from becoming too sticky.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir to mix the ingredients together.
Step 3
Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds using a small knife. Add both the seeds and the pod to the saucepan.
Step 4
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Step 5
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 30-35 minutes or until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened to a creamy consistency.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully remove the vanilla bean pod. Divide the Milchreis among serving bowls.
Step 7
Serve warm or at room temperature, sprinkled with ground cinnamon on top. Enjoy your creamy German Milchreis!
