Rice Pudding: In a medium heavy bottomed
saucepan combine the milk, rice, and salt. Place saucepan over high heat
and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium to medium-low and simmer
until the rice is tender (about 25 minutes). Stir the milk mixture
frequently using a heatproof rubber spatula or wooden spoon to prevent the rice
from sticking to the bottom of the pan. When the rice
is tender (al dente) remove from heat and add the sugar, vanilla extract, and
ground cinnamon. Return to heat and cook until the rice pudding thickens,
about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add the raisins. Spoon the
pudding into your serving bowls and cover with plastic wrap. If you want a
film or skin on the puddings, allow them to cool before covering with plastic
wrap. Refrigerate until serving time, about 1 to 2 hours.
If desired, garnish with
lightly sweetened whipped cream.
Makes 2 to 3 servings.
Note: Can double the
recipe for 4 to 6 servings.
