HOW TO MAKE THE ABSOLUTE EASIEST RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Measure out the rice and milk. Place 1 cup uncooked short-grain or long-grain white rice, or 3 cups cooked rice in a large saucepan. Add 4 cups milk for uncooked rice, 3 cups milk for cooked rice.
• Add the flavorings. Add 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. If using vanilla bean, scrape the seeds from 1/2 vanilla bean and add the seeds and the pod into the saucepan. If using vanilla bean paste, add 1 1/2 teaspoons. Add any desired add-ins.
• Bring to a simmer. Bring the mixture to a vigorous simmer over medium-high heat, stirring frequently and scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula so that the rice does not stick.
• Simmer until the rice is tender. Reduce the heat to maintain a bare simmer and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the rice is very tender and the mixture starts to thicken, 20 to 22 minutes for uncooked rice, 10 to 12 minutes for cooked rice.
• Add the butter and vanilla extract. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract if using and 1 tablespoon unsalted butter if desired until melted. Remove the vanilla bean pod if needed. Taste and add more sugar as desired.
• Serve the rice pudding. The rice pudding will continue to thicken as it cools. Thin out with more milk if desired, and serve warm or cold.

EASY RICE PUDDING FOR A CROWD (CAN BE HALVED)

Steps:

• Into a large, heavy-bottomed pan, mix together all ingredients. On medium heat, stir occasionally while mixture comes to a simmer.
• Continue stirring regularly throughout the process. You don't have to stir constantly, but you can't just walk away for very long either.
• Once at a simmer turn down heat and continue to stir periodically. Allow to thicken to a creamy consistency (about 25-30 minutes).
• Don't let it get too thick. It should be only slightly thicker than a hearty cream soup. If it gets much thicker it will be too thick when it cools. Serve as desired, whether hot or cold.

• Place rice, salt, and water into a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until tender, about 20 minutes.
