Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup sugar

Instructions
- Prep your oven to a precise 350°F and gather a medium mixing bowl for combining ingredients.
- Fold the 1 cup of pre-cooked rice into the bowl with 2 cups milk, ½ cup sugar, ¼ cup raisins, and ¼ teaspoon salt until completely integrated.

- Transfer the creamy blend into a lightly greased 8-inch baking dish, spreading evenly across the surface.
- Dust the top with ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, creating a delicate aromatic layer.
- Slide the dish into the preheated 350°F oven and bake for 45 minutes, gently stirring at the 22-minute mark to promote even cooking.
- Remove from the oven and allow the pudding to rest for 15-20 minutes, which helps the texture set and intensifies the flavors.
- Serve warm or chilled, depending on your preference for enjoying this comforting dessert.
Notes
- Use leftover rice for a quick and easy dessert that transforms simple ingredients into a comforting treat.
- Whole milk creates the richest, creamiest texture, but low-fat milk works if you’re watching calories.
- Adjust raisin quantity to taste or swap them out for dried cranberries or chopped nuts for different flavor profiles.
- Let the pudding rest for 15-20 minutes after baking to help it set and develop a beautiful, slightly firmer consistency.
