How to Make Stove Top Rice Pudding

  1. In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 4 cups of milk, 1 cup of uncooked long-grain rice, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  2. Place the saucepan over high heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover, and simmer for approximately 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir frequently (every 5-7 minutes) to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  5. If desired, stir in 1/4 cup raisins at this point.
  6. Return the saucepan to low heat and cook for another 5-10 minutes, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  8. Spoon the warm rice pudding into serving bowls.
  9. For a warm treat, enjoy immediately. For a chilled delight, cover the pudding with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours. The longer it chills, the thicker it will become (but it might dry out slightly after a longer time).
  10. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream before serving (optional).
