Old-fashioned Rice Pudding Recipe

Cut your vanilla pod in half lengthwise, immerse it in a saucepan with the milk. Heat the milk.

Rinse the rice with water and add it to the pot when the milk begins to boil.

Cover the pot and let it cook on very low heat for 1 hour 10 to 1 hour 30. One tip: do not stir the rice during cooking.

10 minutes before the end of cooking, add the sugar to the pot and stir. When you remove the lid to add the sugar, you will see that the rice has "expanded." This is normal.

To finish, at the end of cooking, remove the vanilla pod. Pour the rice into a bowl and let it cool to room temperature. Serve at room temperature.
