Old-Fashioned Rice Pudding

Ingredients

  • 6 cups whole milk, divided
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup long grain white rice, I use a heaping half cup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ground cinnamon, optional

Instructions

  • In a large saucepan, combine 5 1/2 cups milk, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Stir in rice and reduce heat to low. Be sure to adjust the heat so that it is at a gentle simmer.
  • Stirring occasionally, cook for 50 to 60 minutes. Mixture should thicken up to consistency of yogurt.
  • Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
  • Let cool and then refrigerate. The last 1/2 cup milk is stirred in just before serving. Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
