Ingredients

• 1 cup Uncooked white rice
• 2 cups Water
• 4 cups Whole milk
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the uncooked white rice under cold water to remove excess starch. Drain well.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the rice, stir, and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.

Step 3

Once the rice is cooked, add the whole milk, granulated sugar, and salt to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning, for about 20 minutes. The pudding will thicken as the rice absorbs more liquid.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and unsalted butter until fully incorporated.

Step 6

If desired, fold in raisins for added texture and sweetness.

Step 7

Transfer the rice pudding to a serving dish or individual bowls. Sprinkle with ground nutmeg or additional cinnamon for garnish, if desired.

Step 8

Serve warm for a comforting treat, or chill in the refrigerator for a few hours if you prefer a cold dessert.
