Rice Pudding

Ingredients:

* 3/4 cup medium grain rice or long grain rice
* 1 1/2 cups water
* 1/4 teaspoon salt (heaping)
* 4 cups whole milk (I use 2%)
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
* cinnamon

Directions:


1
Bring rice, water and salt to a boil over med-high heat.

2
Simmer covered until water has been absorbed (approximately 15 minutes).

3
Stir in milk and sugar and cook uncovered over medium heat for 30-40 minutes, stirring frequently--especially towards the end of cooking.

4
The pudding is done when the rice and milk have amalgamated into a thick porridge-like consistency.

5
DO NOT OVERCOOK or the pudding will be solid instead of creamy once cooled.

6
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.

7
Turn into a bowl or cups.

8
You can sprinkle cinnamon on the top if you like.

9
COVER with plastic wrap directly on surface "IF" you don't want a skin.
