Rice Pudding

By AuntieGooper

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.
