Fashioned Rice pudding

🧑‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Cook the Rice:

  1. Rinse rice under cold water until water runs clear.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine rice, 2 cups of milk, and salt.
  3. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer.
  4. Cook, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid is absorbed (about 15–20 minutes).

2. Add Remaining Ingredients:

  1. Stir in remaining 2 cups of milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and butter.
  2. Continue to simmer gently, stirring often, until the rice is tender and pudding is creamy (10–15 more minutes).

3. Flavor:

  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  • Optional: fold in raisins or nuts if desired.

4. Serve:

  • Serve warm or chilled, sprinkled with a little extra cinnamon.
  • Can be topped with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel for extra indulgence.

🥄 Tips:

  • Stir frequently to prevent the rice from sticking and burning.
  • For extra creaminess, replace ½ cup of milk with cream.
  • Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 2–3 days — the pudding thickens as it cools, so you may need to add a splash of milk when reheating.

If you want, I can also give you a slow-cooker version of rice pudding that cooks gently all day and comes out ultra-creamy with minimal effort.

Do you want me to share that version?
