Recipe Ingredients and Notes

½ cup long grain rice
2 cups milk
¼ cup sugar
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar

• Long Grain Rice - Use white rice.
• Milk - A whole milk will give you a richer pudding, but a low fat milk can also be used with good results. Some recipes call for using evaporated milk, I prefer to make it like my Mom made it, with whole milk and sugar.
• Butter
• Sugar - Only use white granulated sugar.
• Vanilla Extract - Use 100% pure vanilla extract or a vanilla paste can be substituted.
• Cinnamon Sugar - Mix together equal amounts of white granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Make as little or much as you like. I Keep a shaker of cinnamon sugar in my kitchen. Brown Sugar is also a very tasty substitution.

Easy Recipe Directions

1. Spray a 2-quart slow cooker with vegetable oil. Add all the ingredients except the cinnamon sugar and stir.
2. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours. Stir the mixture a couple of times during the cooking.
3. Transfer to a small baking dish and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar or spoon into individual serving bowls.
