Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked white rice
• 2 cups milk
• 0.25 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the cooked white rice, milk, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir to combine the ingredients well.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency. Stir frequently to avoid burning.

Step 5

Once the pudding has thickened, remove the saucepan from heat.

Step 6

Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and butter until fully incorporated.

Step 7

If using raisins, fold them into the rice pudding at this stage.

Step 8

Taste and adjust sweetness or seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Serve warm in bowls. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch.
