Instructions

1. Cook the rice
   In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add rice, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until water is absorbed.

2. Add milk & sugar
   Stir in milk, sugar, and salt. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, for 20–30 minutes until thick and creamy.

3. Finish
   Stir in vanilla, butter, and cinnamon. Add raisins if using.

4. Serve
   Enjoy warm, or chill in the fridge for a thicker pudding. Sprinkle extra cinnamon on top before serving.

Tips

• For extra creaminess, replace 1 cup of milk with heavy cream.

• For baked rice pudding, transfer mixture to a baking dish and bake at 325°F (160°C) for about 45–60 minutes.

• Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.

If you’d like, I can also give you a dairy-free, low-sugar, or baked version.
