# What You'll Need:
→ Grains
01 - 3/4 cup uncooked short-grain rice
→ Dairy & Liquids
02 - 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
03 - 3 cups whole milk
04 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
→ Sweeteners & Flavorings
05 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus extra for sprinkling
08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Optional
09 - 1/2 cup raisins or sultanas
# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter.
02 - Rinse rice under cold running water until water runs clear. Drain thoroughly.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, melted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
04 - Fold in rinsed rice and raisins, if using, ensuring even distribution.
05 - Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish. Stir gently to distribute rice evenly.
06 - Bake uncovered for 1 hour, gently stirring every 20 minutes to prevent clumping and ensure even cooking. The custard should be set and the surface lightly golden.
07 - Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm or chilled. Sprinkle with additional ground cinnamon if desired.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The pudding bakes up with an irresistibly golden top and stays rich no matter how chilled or warm you serve it.
- Stirring in condensed milk makes every bite decadently creamy—the secret ingredient I’ll never leave out now.
02 -
- Skipping the periodic stirring leads to a pudding with a dense layer at the bottom; I learned the hard way that even intervals make a world of difference.
- Letting the pudding cool slightly thickens it, but reheating with a splash of milk loosens it back to creamy perfection.
03 -
- If your rice is undercooked, cover with foil for the final 10 minutes—trust me, this rescues it every time.
- Letting the pudding rest before spooning out helps it set, making neat, creamy portions with every serve.
