Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Rice
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.
- 2
Cook the Rice
In a large saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- 3
Combine Ingredients
Once the rice is cooked, add the whole milk, sugar, salt, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
- 4
Cook the Pudding
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 20-25 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
- 5
Add Nuts and Raisins
Stir in the chopped nuts and raisins (if using) during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Adjust sweetness if needed.
- 6
Serve
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Rice pudding can be served warm or chilled, garnished with extra nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
