Scale
Ingredients
- ½ cup white rice
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the white rice, whole milk, water, sugar, and unsalted butter, ensuring all ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Boil Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil while stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Simmer Rice: Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, forming a creamy consistency.
- Add Flavorings: Remove the saucepan from heat, then stir in the ground cinnamon and vanilla extract carefully to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Serve and Cool: Spoon the warm pudding into individual serving bowls and let it cool for a few minutes before serving, allowing the pudding to thicken slightly for the best texture.
Notes
- Use white rice for best creamy texture; short-grain rice works best if available.
- Stir frequently during simmering to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- For a richer pudding, substitute whole milk with half-and-half or add a splash of heavy cream at the end.
- Adjust sugar amount to taste if a less sweet dessert is preferred.
- Serve warm or chilled according to preference.
