Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked white rice
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cups Raisins (optional)
• 1 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the cooked rice, whole milk, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to gently simmer, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, beat the egg. Slowly add a few tablespoons of the hot rice mixture to the egg while whisking constantly to temper it.

Step 4

Gradually pour the tempered egg into the saucepan, stirring constantly to prevent curdling.

Step 5

Continue cooking over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes, or until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 6

If using raisins, stir them in now, allowing them to soften and plump up in the pudding.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter until fully melted and combined.

Step 8

Let the pudding cool slightly before serving warm, or refrigerate for at least 1 hour to enjoy it chilled.
