Ingredients

• 0.5 cup White rice
• 1 cup Water
• 3 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice under cold water to remove excess starch and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Step 3

Add the milk, sugar, and salt to the saucepan with the cooked rice. Stir well.

Step 4

Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking, for about 30-35 minutes or until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and raisins (if using). Mix well to combine.

Step 6

Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving, or refrigerate and serve chilled. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon for garnish, if desired.
