How to Make Puerto Rican Arroz Con Leche Rice With Milk

Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
Add 1 cup of long-grain white rice. Bring back to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes without stirring.
Stir in 1 teaspoon of salt, 4 cups of whole milk, and 2 tablespoons of butter. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Continue to simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. For a creamier texture, stir in additional milk (up to 1 cup more).
Serve warm and enjoy!
