Ingredients

1/2 cup/100g short grain rice
3/4 cups/200ml water
3 cups milk/750ml milk
1/4 cup/60g granulated sugar
1/4 cup/ 3 tablespoons/60g unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: lemon zest
Optional for decorating: cinnamon powder, fruit jam, fruit preserves, nuts, dried fruits, cardamom

Steps:

Use a 1 quart pot with cover.
Place the rice and water into the pot, bring to a boil then simmer for few minutes, covered, until the rice absorbs the water.
Add milk, butter and salt and cook the rice on low heat, stirring constantly to avoid scorching.
When the rice is almost cooked(about 10-15 minutes), add sugar and simmer for another 3-4 minutes.
Add vanilla, lemon zest and stir to combine.
The best way to know if the rice pudding is cooked is by tasting the grain. You want the rice to be cooked but still "al dente".
Remove the pudding from the heat and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes. The rice will absorb the rest of the liquid and become thicker and creamier.
Serve the rice pudding in cups and decorate with cinnamon, pieces of fruit, your favorite jam, dried fruits etc.
