Ingredients

• 0.5 cups White rice (uncooked, preferably medium-grain)
• 4 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cups Raisins (optional)
• 1 tablespoons Unsalted butter (optional, for richness)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch until the water runs clear.

Step 2

In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, whole milk, and salt.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Step 4

Once the mixture begins to simmer, lower the heat to medium-low. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, for about 45-50 minutes or until the rice is tender and the pudding has thickened. The mixture should have a creamy consistency.

Step 5

Stir in the granulated sugar and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring constantly, to dissolve the sugar and ensure it is well incorporated.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. If desired, fold in the ground cinnamon, raisins, and unsalted butter for added flavor and richness.

Step 7

Let the rice pudding cool slightly before serving. It will continue to thicken as it cools. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can stir in a splash of milk before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm or chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon or additional raisins, if desired.
