Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup rice Any type of rice works well.
  • 4 cups milk Use whole milk for a richer taste.
  • 3/4 cup sugar Adjust based on sweetness preference.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Use pure vanilla for the best flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon Optional for added warmth.
  • 1/4 cup raisins Optional; soak in warm milk for best texture.

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a saucepan, combine rice, milk, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 25-30 minutes until the rice is tender.
  3. Stir in vanilla extract and cinnamon (if using).
  4. If desired, add raisins and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

This rice pudding is versatile; feel free to adjust ingredients to your taste. For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with full-fat coconut or oat milk. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
