Ingredients
- 150 grams short-grain rice
- 500 milliliters water
- 1 liter whole milk
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 15 grams unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the rice in cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
Step 2
In a medium-sized pot, bring 500 milliliters of water to a boil over medium heat. Add the rinsed rice and a pinch of salt. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the water is mostly absorbed.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and slowly pour in the whole milk, stirring regularly to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
Step 4
Let the mixture simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rice is soft and the pudding is thick and creamy.
Step 5
Add the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the sugar dissolves and the butter is melted.
Step 6
Taste and adjust the sweetness if necessary. Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the pudding to add a warm, spiced flavor.
Step 7
Serve warm or let it cool to room temperature. You can also chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours and serve cold. Optional: Garnish with additional cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream.
Step 8
Enjoy your Swedish Rice Pudding as a comforting dessert or a sweet breakfast treat!
