🥘Ingredients

Rice Pudding

1/2 cup uncooked short-grain rice
4 cups whole milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 large egg yolks
1/4 cup raisins (optional)

👨‍🍳Directions

1Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Drain well.
2In the medium saucepan, combine the rice and 3 cups of milk over medium heat.
3Bring to a gentle simmer and reduce the heat to low.
4Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until the rice is tender and the milk has thickened.
5This should take about 20 to 25 minutes.
6The rice should be soft and the mixture should coat the back of a spoon.
7In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 cup of milk, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and egg yolks until well combined.
8Slowly pour this mixture into the saucepan with the cooked rice, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
9Cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon.
10This should take about 5 minutes.
11If using raisins, stir them in now and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
12Remove the saucepan from the heat.
13Let the rice pudding cool slightly before transferring it to a serving dish.
14Cover the surface of the pudding with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
15Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
16This allows the flavors to meld and the pudding to thicken further.
