Method

How to Make Old Fashioned Rice Pudding

Combine rice, milk, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the mixture comes to a gentle boil, about 10-15 minutes.
Simmer the mixture, reducing the heat to low. Let it cook while stirring often until the rice is tender and the pudding thickens, about 20-25 minutes.
Stir in granulated sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Continue stirring for another 5 minutes until everything is well combined and creamy.
Serve the rice pudding warm or let it cool in the refrigerator if you prefer it chilled.
Garnish with your choice of toppings, such as a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream.
