Ingredients

1 cup long-grain white rice, rinsed
2 cups water
4 cups whole milk
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

1

Combine 1 cup rinsed long-grain white rice and 2 cups water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the water is absorbed.
2

Add 4 cups whole milk, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt to the cooked rice. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat.
3

Cook uncovered, stirring frequently, for 20-25 minutes until the mixture is thick and creamy and the rice is very tender. It will thicken more as it cools.
4

Remove from heat. Stir in 2 tbsp unsalted butter, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and half of the 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon.
5

Spoon into bowls and dust the tops with the remaining ground cinnamon. Serve warm, or press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming and refrigerate to serve cold.
