30 gsugar
15 gbutter

Instructions
1PREPARE THE INGREDIENTS: Measure out the cooked rice (you can use leftovers or instant pre-cooked rice for extra speed). Pour the milk into a thick-bottomed saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat, without letting it boil, to preserve all its nutrients and delicate flavor.
2INCORPORATE THE RICE: Pour the cooked rice into the simmering milk while stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Mix well so the rice distributes evenly and gradually becomes infused with the milk. Maintain medium heat to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
3ADD THE FLAVORS: Stir in the sugar, butter, and liquid vanilla while continuously mixing for 2-3 minutes. The sugar should dissolve completely and the butter should emulsify into the milk, creating a velvety and rich texture. You should obtain a homogeneous and smooth mixture.
4LET SIMMER: Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring regularly every 30 seconds. The rice pudding should gradually thicken and become creamy. If the mixture is too thin, extend the cooking time; if it becomes too thick, add a little hot milk.
5CHECK THE DONENESS: The rice pudding should have a creamy and flowing texture, never pasty. Spoon a little and pour it out: it should flow slightly. The rice grain should be tender but whole, never crushed. Adjust the sugar seasoning to your taste.
6PLATE AND SERVE: Pour the rice pudding into bowls or individual cups. Generously sprinkle cinnamon on top to add a spicy and warming note. Serve immediately while hot, or let cool according to your preference. You can also add dried fruits or fresh fruits for extra indulgence.
