🥧 Old-Fashioned Creamy Rice Pudding (Grandma-Style)
📝 Ingredients
1 cup white rice
2 cups water
2 cups milk
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
2 tablespoons butter

👩🍳 Instructions
Cook the rice
In a pot, bring water to a boil. Add rice, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until tender.
Add the creamy goodness
Pour in the milk, sugar, and salt. Cook over low heat, stirring often, for about 20–25 minutes until thick and creamy.
Add flavor
Stir in butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and raisins (if using).
Final touch
Let it cook another 5 minutes, then remove from heat. It will thicken more as it cools.
