Take a medium sized pot.

Add ? cup plus 2 tablespoons of long grain rice.

Add 3/4 cup of water.

Add 1/8 teaspoon of salt and stir.

Bring the pot to medium high heat and cook until the water boils.

Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and cover the pot.

Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes until the rice is soft but not super soft, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Once the water has absorbed, add 2 cups of milk to the pot.

Turn the heat up to medium and add 1/4 cup of sugar, stirring well.

Cook until the rice and milk combine and thicken, stirring more frequently as it thickens to prevent burning.

When the mixture reaches a thick porridge-like consistency, turn off the heat and continue stirring.

Once the bubbles subside, add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Optionally, add 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream for creaminess, or raisins if desired.

Transfer the rice pudding to serving bowls.

Cover loosely with plastic wrap if cooling in the fridge.

Top with cinnamon before serving.
