OLD FASHIONED RICE PUDDING
Classic creamy rice pudding flavored with vanilla and cinnamon, finished with butter and raisins for a comforting dessert.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice rinsed
- 4 cup whole milk can substitute with 2% milk
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup raisins optional
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon plus more for serving
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Combine rice and 1 cup of the milk in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until most of the milk is absorbed, about 8 minutes.
- Add the remaining milk, sugar, and salt to the saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender and mixture is creamy, about 25 to 30 minutes.
- Stir in the butter and raisins, if using. Remove 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture and slowly whisk it into the beaten egg to temper, then return the egg mixture to the pot and stir until combined.
- Cook on low for 2 to 3 more minutes without boiling to thicken slightly. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and ground cinnamon.
- Serve warm or chill for at least 2 hours to set. Sprinkle additional cinnamon before serving if desired.
Notes
For a richer pudding, substitute half the milk with cream. Store leftovers refrigerated for up to 4 days.
