Ingredients
- 1 cup Short-grain white rice
- 2 cups Water
- 4 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents clumping.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the rice and salt, then lower the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until the water is fully absorbed, about 15 minutes.
Step 3
Once the rice is cooked, add the whole milk, granulated sugar, and unsalted butter to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Step 4
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until it thickens and becomes creamy. This should take about 30-35 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon. If using raisins, fold them in at this point.
Step 6
Let the pudding cool slightly, as it will continue to thicken as it cools. Serve warm or chilled, garnished with a light sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
