Ingredients

• 1 cup White rice (uncooked)
• 2 cups Water
• 3 cups Whole milk
• 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 1/3 cup Raisins or dried fruit (optional)
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium heat. Add the rinsed rice and a pinch of salt.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add 3 cups of whole milk, 1/3 cup of granulated sugar, and the optional raisins or dried fruit to the cooked rice. Stir well.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and continue simmering, stirring occasionally, for 20–25 minutes, or until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.

Step 8

Allow the rice pudding to cool slightly before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.

Step 9

Serve warm or chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
