Ingredients

• 0.5 cup short-grain white rice
• 1 cup water
• 3 cups whole milk
• 0.33 cup granulated sugar
• 2 pieces large egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.125 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the rice simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.

Step 4

Add the milk, sugar, and salt to the cooked rice, stirring to combine. Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly pour 1/4 cup of the warm rice mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper them and avoid scrambling.

Step 6

Gradually add the tempered yolks back into the saucepan, stirring well to combine.

Step 7

Continue to cook the pudding over medium-low heat for another 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens to a custard-like consistency.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Transfer the rice pudding to serving dishes or a large bowl. Serve warm, or let it cool to room temperature and refrigerate for a chilled dessert.

Step 10

Optionally, sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top before serving for a decorative and flavorful touch.
