Ingredients
 

  • 2½ cups water
  • 1 cup uncooked aborio rice
  • 2 cups milk, divided
  • ⅓ cup white sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon, (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • In another saucepan, combine the cooked rice, with 1½ cups milk, sugar and salt. Cook over medium heat until thick and creamy, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Whisk together the remaining ½ cup milk with beaten egg, then add to the rice. Cook 5 minutes more, stirring constantly until thickened.
  • Remove from heat, and stir in butter and vanilla.
  • Sprinkle with cinnamon on top (optional) before serving. This is delicious served warm but can be eaten when chilled too.

Notes

  • You can add optional extras into the rice pudding when both butter and vanilla are added. For instance raisins, cranberries or toasted almond slivers.
  • Alternatively, you can add these on top of the pudding when serving.
