Ingredients
- 1 cup short-grain rice
- 4 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- Rinse the rice under cold water to remove excess starch.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and milk. Bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Once it starts simmering, reduce the heat to low. Continue cooking, stirring frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
- Cook for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Stir in the sugar and salt, mixing well. Allow it to cook for another 5 minutes to thicken.
- Add vanilla extract if desired and stir to incorporate.
- Remove from heat and let the pudding cool slightly. If you prefer a thicker texture, let it cool to room temperature.
- Serve the rice pudding warm, or chill it in the refrigerator for a cold treat.
- Optionally, garnish with cinnamon, fruit, or nuts for extra flavor.
