Description
A traditional Scandinavian-style rice porridge, often served during the holiday season. It’s creamy, comforting, and lightly sweetened with a touch of cinnamon on top.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 3/4 cup uncooked white rice
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
Instructions
- In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Stir in the rice, butter, and salt.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the water is mostly absorbed.
- Stir in the milk and sugar. Cook uncovered over low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is creamy and thickened, about 20 minutes.
- Serve warm, sprinkled with cinnamon to taste.
Notes
- Use short-grain or medium-grain white rice for the creamiest texture.
- Stir often to prevent the milk from scorching.
- This porridge can be served warm or chilled.
- Top with a dab of butter or fruit compote for variation.
