Ingredients
Rice Pudding
2 cups whole milk
¼ cup uncooked rice
¼ cup granulated sugar
⅛ tsp salt
1 small egg, beaten (or ½ large egg)
1 Tbsp unsalted butter
½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp pure vanilla extract
Directions
Rice Pudding
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, rice, sugar, and salt over medium heat. Stir well to mix and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer, and simmer uncovered for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally until the milk is entirely absorbed and the rice is thick and creamy. (Make sure you stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking and the milk from burning. Also, keep a close eye on the saucepan so the milk doesn’t boil over.)
Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the beaten egg. Stir in the butter, cinnamon, and vanilla until the butter is melted.
Transfer to an individual serving dish and serve warm or cold.
