1
Prepare the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the Arborio rice and 4 cups of milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent the rice from sticking.
2
Simmer the Mixture
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened. Stir occasionally.
3
Add Sweetness and Flavor
Stir in the sugar, vanilla extract, salt, ground cinnamon, and butter. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes until the sugar has dissolved and the pudding is creamy.
4
Incorporate Raisins
If using raisins, fold them into the pudding and allow them to heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
5
Cool and Serve
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. The pudding can be served warm or chilled, garnished with additional cinnamon or a sprinkle of nutmeg if desired.
