👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Rinse the rice and cook it in 1½ cups of water for about 10–15 minutes, until the water is absorbed.
    StovePot
  2. 2
    Add the milk and bring back to a boil. Turn down to low and simmer, stirring often, for about 45 minutes, until the rice is soft and the mixture creamy.
    ⚙ SimmeringStove
    💡Stir often, and toward the end almost nonstop: the rice starch thickens the milk, and the bottom burns easily.
    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
  3. 3
    Add the sugar and stir.
  4. 4
    Pour into serving bowls and sprinkle the cinnamon on top.
