Provided by Christine Gallary

Categories     Dessert     Snack     Pudding     Sweets

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup uncooked short-grain or long-grain white rice, or 3 cups cooked rice
3 to 4 cups dairy or unsweetened non-dairy milk
1/3 cup granulated sugar, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 vanilla bean, or 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)
Add-in options: 1/2 cup raisins, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Measure out the rice and milk. Place 1 cup uncooked short-grain or long-grain white rice, or 3 cups cooked rice in a large saucepan. Add 4 cups milk for uncooked rice, 3 cups milk for cooked rice.
  • Add the flavorings. Add 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. If using vanilla bean, scrape the seeds from 1/2 vanilla bean and add the seeds and the pod into the saucepan. If using vanilla bean paste, add 1 1/2 teaspoons. Add any desired add-ins.
