Classic Rice Pudding

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

2. 2

   In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and 4 cups of whole milk.

3. 3

   Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.

4. 4

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened.

5. 5

   Stir in the sugar and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

6. 6

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon.

7. 7

   Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.

8. 8

   Serve warm or chilled, as desired. Enjoy your Classic Rice Pudding!
