Rice Pudding

By francesn

My husband's favorite!

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup medium grain rice or 3/4 cup long grain rice
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (heaping)
• 4 cups whole milk (I use 2%)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

1 Bring rice, water and salt to a boil over med-high heat. 2 Simmer covered until water has been absorbed (approximately 15 minutes). 3 Stir in milk and sugar and cook uncovered over medium heat for 30-40 minutes, stirring frequently--especially towards the end of cooking. 4 The pudding is done when the rice and milk have amalgamated into a thick porridge-like consistency. 5 DO NOT OVERCOOK or the pudding will be solid instead of creamy once cooled. 6 Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. 7 Turn into a bowl or cups. 8 You can sprinkle cinnamon on the top if you like. 9 COVER with plastic wrap directly on surface "IF" you don't want a skin. 10 COOL.
