Ingredients

• 1 cup white rice
• 2 cups water
• 4 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 unit large egg
• 0.5 cup raisins (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the white rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch for a better texture in the pudding.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, bring the 2 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the rinsed rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water has been fully absorbed and the rice is tender.

Step 3

In another large saucepan, combine the cooked rice, whole milk, granulated sugar, and unsalted butter. Set the pan over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture starts to thicken and become creamy, about 20 minutes.

Step 4

In a small bowl, beat the egg thoroughly. Add a few tablespoons of the hot rice mixture to the beaten egg while whisking constantly (this is called tempering the egg, which prevents it from scrambling when added to the pudding).

Step 5

Gradually stir the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the rice pudding. Continue cooking for 5 more minutes, stirring frequently, until the pudding thickens further.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and raisins (if using). Adjust sweetness if needed by tasting and adding a bit more sugar if desired.

Step 7

Allow the rice pudding to cool slightly before serving. It will continue to thicken as it cools. You can serve it warm or chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of extra cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
