In a medium saucepan, combine the cooked white rice, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, continuing to stir occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
Slowly ladle about 1/2 cup of the hot rice mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling.
Gradually pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the rice, stirring constantly.
Add the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine, and cook for another 5-7 minutes over low heat until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.
Stir in the butter until melted and fully incorporated. If using raisins, fold them in at this stage.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pudding cool for 5–10 minutes. The pudding will continue to thicken as it cools.
Serve warm or chilled, with an optional sprinkle of ground cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream on top.
