How to Make Amazing Rice Pudding

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of uncooked long-grain rice, 2 cups of water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
  3. Stir in 3 cups of whole milk (or your preferred milk), 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the pudding thickens to a creamy porridge-like consistency (about 20-25 minutes). Stir especially diligently towards the end to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  5. Cover and let cool completely before serving. Refrigerating for at least 2 hours enhances the flavor and creates a firmer texture.
  6. Serve chilled and enjoy!
