Ingredients

  • 2 2/3 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup long grain rice
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • pinch salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan set over medium heat, add the milk, rice, butter, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer. Let it cook for 15 minutes.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together an egg, brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon.
  • Temper the eggs by slowly pouring the hot milk from the rice mixture into the bowl, stirring continuously. Then pour the warm egg mixture back into the pan and return it to the heat. Whisk frequently and continue cooking for 5-8 minutes until the mixture thickens and the rice is soft. Take care not to curdle the mixture.
  • Remove from the heat and serve warm with a dash of cinnamon.

Notes

STORE the stove top rice pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator; it will stay good for up to 5 days. While freezing is possible, it may affect the creamy texture upon thawing.
To REHEAT, gently warm the pudding on the stove over low heat, adding a little milk to thin it if necessary, until it's heated through. Avoid microwaving, as it can create uneven hot spots and affect the texture.
