Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.75 cup medium-grain white rice rinsed briefly
- 1 cup water
- 4 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 tsp fine salt
- 1.5 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.33 cup raisins
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Rinse the rice under cool water for 10–15 seconds, then drain well.
- Combine rice, water, 3 cups milk, and salt in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring.
- Lower heat to maintain a soft simmer. Cook uncovered, stirring often, until the rice is tender and liquid reduces, 18–22 minutes.
- Stir in the remaining 1 cup milk and the sugar. Cook, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until thick and creamy, 12–15 minutes.
- Fold in cinnamon, vanilla, raisins, and butter. Cook 2–3 minutes until glossy and the raisins plump.
- Remove from heat and rest 5 minutes. If too thick, loosen with a splash of milk.
- Serve warm or chill for 2 hours for a firmer set. Dust with extra cinnamon if desired.
Notes
Variation: Swap 1 cup of the milk for canned coconut milk and add a pinch of cardamom. For brightness, stir in a little orange zest at the end.
Serving/Storage: Delicious warm or chilled. Store in an airtight container up to 4 days; thin with a splash of milk when reheating.
