Rice Pudding

Scald the rice: bring several cups of water to a boil and let it simmer

Add the rice and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly

Drain and rinse with cold water

Let the milk come to a boil with the vanilla

When the milk is boiling, add the scalded rice slowly, so the boil isn't interrupted

Add the butter, sugar, and salt

Let it simmer strongly for 5 minutes

Cover the pan, reduce heat well

Simmer slowly in covered pan until the rice is cooked; this takes about 1 hour

After 20 minutes, check if more milk is needed to prevent the rice from drying out; add more boiling milk if necessary

When the pudding is ready, the rice should be soft but separate in a thick sauce

Place it in a bowl and let it cool

Once cooled, sprinkle with a little cinnamon

Serve in 4 portions.
