Classic Rice Pudding
Description
This Classic Rice Pudding recipe begins with rinsing medium grain white rice and cooking it in boiling water until tender. After draining most of the water, milk, sugar, and salt are added and the mixture is cooked on medium-low heat to thicken and develop creaminess. A mixture of remaining milk and a beaten egg is then gradually added while stirring to safely incorporate the egg and further thicken the pudding.
Butter and vanilla extract are stirred in off the heat to add richness and flavor. The final pudding has a creamy texture with the pleasant softness of cooked rice and a mild sweetness balanced by the vanilla aroma. A cinnamon garnish is optional for added warmth and flavor contrast.
This pudding can be served warm for immediate comfort or chilled for a refreshing dessert. Its straightforward preparation makes it a classic choice that highlights simple ingredients and traditional technique.

- 1 1/2 cups water
