Certainly! Here’s a classic recipe for Old-Fashioned Rice Pudding:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup white rice
- 4 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
- Ground cinnamon, for garnish
Instructions:
- Rinse the rice under cold water to remove excess starch.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of milk. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Add the remaining 2 cups of milk, sugar, and salt to the rice. Stir well to combine.
- Continue to cook the mixture over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Cook for an additional 30-40 minutes or until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and raisins (if using) during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
- Once the rice pudding has reached the desired consistency, remove it from heat.
- Serve the rice pudding warm or chilled, sprinkled with ground cinnamon on top.
Enjoy your delicious old-fashioned rice pudding! Feel free to adjust the sweetness and add any additional flavors, like nutmeg or orange zest, according to your taste preferences.
