Rice cooked with Milk

Cooked rice served with sugar and cinnamon..mmm, comfort food! Mom made this often and it was always a favorite of mine and still is. I grew up on a dairy farm and so there was no shortage of milk and this rice was cooked with rich whole milk. But now I usually cook it with 1% milk although it really does taste better with whole milk!


1 cup long grain rice..I have used basmati and that is good too

1/4 tsp salt

approx 4 cups milk

In a large saucepan bring to boil the rice, salt and 1 cup milk on high, stirring frequently. Once it's boiling turn heat down to med heat.

As the rice cooks and absorbs the milk keep adding more milk, 1/2 cup at a time until the rice is tender. You will need to keep stirring frequently until the rice is done which takes about 40 to 45 min.

Serve with sugar and cinnamon. We eat it as a dessert and after a light meal as it is very filling. When my Mom used to make it we ate it as part of the main course. Mom loved to eat sweet and savoury dishes at the same time.. and that is definetly something I inherited from her!
