Ingredients
- 4 cups (1 l) milk more for serving (Note 1)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar more to taste
- 1 vanilla bean (Note 2)
- ¼ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- ½ cup rice (Note 3)
- ¼ cup raisins
- Cinnamon powder optional
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan (at least 2.5qt), combine milk, sugar, vanilla bean and salt. Bring it to almost a boil over medium high heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
- Add rice and reduce heat to medium low. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the rice is cooked through and the mixture is thick and creamy, about 25 minutes. (Note: Initially, it’ll look like way too much liquid, but trust the process and let it cook. It’ll thicken and turn so creamy! Don’t forget to stir every 4 or so minutes, so the rice doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.)
- Once the mixture is thick and creamy, discard vanilla bean and stir in raisins and cinnamon, if desired.
- Serve along with additional sugar and milk on the side. To thin out the rice pudding, simply stir in some milk.
Notes
Note 1: Whole or 2% milk is ideal for richer taste.
Note 2: You may substitute 1 teaspoon vanilla paste for vanilla bean.
Note 3: While medium grain rice is ideal for ultra-creamy texture, long grain rice, like jasmine, works just fine.
