Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the pudding from becoming too sticky.
In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the rice, milk, sugar, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook the rice pudding, uncovered, for about 35–40 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning and to help the pudding thicken evenly.
Check the consistency of the rice pudding. It should be creamy and the rice should be tender. If it is too thick, you can add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, butter, and optional raisins (if using). Mix well until the butter is melted and everything is evenly incorporated.
Allow the rice pudding to cool slightly before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.
Serve warm or chilled, topped with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon if desired. Enjoy your comforting bowl of Nothing Rice Pudding!
