Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups water
- 3 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.33 cup raisins (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Stir in the rinsed rice, reduce the heat to low, and cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice has absorbed the water.
Step 4
Add the milk, sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon to the cooked rice. Stir to combine.
Step 5
Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, for about 20 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy.
Step 6
Stir in the vanilla extract, butter, and raisins (if using) and mix well until the butter is melted and fully incorporated.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pudding cool for 5-10 minutes. The pudding will continue to thicken as it cools.
Step 8
Serve warm or chilled, garnished with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
