- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
What to Do
- In a large saucepan, combine rice, half-and-half, sugar, salt, and butter.

- Different ethnic groups have their own versions of rice pudding. The Italian version is called "budino di riso" and the Hispanic version is "arroz con leche." This is our basic recipe, but feel free to add your own special touches like raisins, orange zest, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
